WASHINGTON - One of the Marines’ most-accomplished snipers took dead aim yesterday at Hillary Rodham Clinton’s claims of facing fire in Bosnia, saying she has dissed the real heroes.

“She doesn’t care about our service members - that’s the feeling that gives me,” said retired Staff Sgt. Jack Coughlin, a 20-year Marine sniper who detailed his real-life drama in the powerful 2006 book, “Shooter: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper.”

“This is not a verbal snafu. She is using us,” he told The Post.

Coughlin, who once recorded 13 enemy “kills” in a single day during the Iraq war, said Clinton committed “the ultimate sin” by trumping up a frightening scenario for political gain.

“She puts it out there so she can say she’s been tested under fire - especially in the smug way she was talking about it,” Coughlin said, referring to Clinton’s account of running across a military tarmac in Tuzla, Bosnia, while under sniper attack.

Clinton has said this week that she misspoke.

“So I made a mistake,” she told reporters Tuesday in Pennsylvania, where she was campaigning before the state’s April 22 primary.

But Coughlin’s not buying it.
