A former USMC sniper used to work for me, and we went shooting together on
occasion, so you won't hear me claiming those shots were impossible. *I'm
baffled as to how anyone could conclude I think so based on what I posted.
All I questioned was the overall quality of History/Discovery Channel
programming, I've heard too many examples of a narrator reading something
that is either hugely simplified, if not howlingly wrong, accompanied by
film footage that has nothing to do with the history being discussed. *So if
this show glossed over the technical details, it doesn't seem unreasonable
to me that was because they didn't know them.

I wasn't pointing the finger at you, just hoping you weren't in that
lot. *Sorry if it seemed that way.
I think we agree on this.
And I'm in the same boat with you on the vast shortcomings in a lot of
these "documentaries."

Only thing is that we're discussing one particular program, and not
speaking in generalities...or, at least I thought we were.
