who doesn't empty a magazine on the range?
This what was so strange. I mean, I've taken so many people shooting and have never seen a person fail to empty a magazine. Not once. It happens in competition of course, and training, but when one is out to blast rounds down range...Never. It was weird, and weird that the Army lad let it happen.
I think the problem with the military these days (generally speaking) is lack of resources. Most of the firearms training is with rifle only, I mean for general-entry types, and then unless one is designated infantry, it's a simple qualification shoot periodically. The term warrior should be used loosely these days. Furthermore most of the training is in an electronic range with real rifles that don't actually shoot rounds, rather than live fire on a range. I think it's just too costly. It's dumb. I think that combines to leave people with less understanding and the result is errors. This country is so ill-prepared to go to war these days. If we didn't have friends the country would/could be overrun in minutes.
Anyway, the young kid will learn a lesson or not. I hope so.
