The same can be said of our modern day population of:
1) hunters
2) LEO'S
3) military
As always, there are exceptions, and those who train around it.
A little adrenaline goes a long way. A lot of ammo doesn't always, which is why all of the above carry so much.

Also, the area known as Sharpshooter Ridge at LBH was not named after anyone in the 7th Cav.
And that sharpshooter Indian was the exception to the rule. The soldiers put concentrated fire on him and eliminated him.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
