I was very happy to do it. It is hard enough for those men to know who to shoot or not. HESITATION WILL GET YOU KILLED! Besides i personally think that it was a good shoot. You dont think those *%$#@ would give him a chance. They would of just cut his head off with a knife.

HARDCORE :blaster:

I don't see what the problem is. When we were in Vietnam, we made certain we would not get shot in the back. We had a maneuver for covering our butts - it was the next line of guys about 20 yards behind us to make certain they got the ones who would pop up out of their spider holes after we had gone past. We also had a one-round rule for reducing the re-enlistment rate for wounded enemy. During the Boer Wars, the Brits called it British Rule Number 303. The worst thing that can happen to a combat soldier is to get shot in the butt because he didn't amke certain the bad guy was dead. Actually, I would say it was a good shot. And this is just my two cents worth. Mikey.

Right on MIkey,Rule 303 was 30-06 Rule with us,never leave your rear exposed.You who don't like it don't understand what is going on where the boots meet the ground in Indian Territory.

I am beginning to believe it was a good shoot, not that I really ever questioned it, I like too see some facts before I make a decision.
It could have been over-reaction but the bulk of what I read is that this is not the case.
Things happen that can never be understood unless you were there at that point in time and that time in space.
Blessings

Ya know folks, just another thought here - a camera has only one eye and one eye never sees everything. Those who watch a live action camera see only through that one eye. That is why multiple cameras are used when movies are made................... and this wasn't a movie. Just a thought. Mikey.

I feel for this guy -- I know where he's coming from. In Vietnam, I stepped over a "dead" man, and he tried to shoot me in the back. Fortunately, a troop coming behind me shot him first.
