[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 395638"] I agree that it's contrary to the basic concept of a forum. First, it's somewhat sad that comments made on an internet forum (discussion place) on an unlikely event are interpreted by some as some sort of an attack on honor. Second, I don't think it's a civilian's duty to give up basic freedoms - like freedom of speech or of expression. We have a military to defend us against infringement on these natural rights. The right to life, to liberty, to speak freely, to publish what we write, to defend ourselves, to pursue happiness - all these rights that we're endowed with as a result of our humanity. To ensure these rights our society has developed a complex military apparatus. I speak from first-hand knowledge that the troops feel good knowing that their actions are a good portion of the reason we're able to continue speaking freely and pursuing happiness. I think they'd truly be most offended if we stopped. Insofar as the three shots - to summarize - to me it seems like there's a consensus that the first two kills are possible and not seriously questioned. It's the third shot disabling the machine gun that puts it over the top. That's precisely what I've said from the start. Just think of the tiny number of hit locations on a machine gun that would render it inoperable... then think of the distance and behavior of the bullet under ideal conditions and do some math to calculate probability. It'd probably be similar to hitting the lottery on consecutive weeks. This conclusion doesn't mean that I hold the sniper in low regard - it means that the journalist is very likely full of crap.
