“”Being military trained, he realized that stationary shooters get flanked very quickly. That is why you shoot and move. To keep from being flanked.””

From what I’m hearing his training consisted of basic and had a construction MOS. He never saw combat and his medals consisted of your standard participation medals. The fact that he was a PFC after 6 years is another tell. You have to work real hard not to get E-4 to E-5 in 6 years, reserves or not. I made E-5 in 2 years and that was in 71.

I am not trying to imply he served with Seal Team 6. I am just saying that going through boot camp alone gives you some knowledge that your average civvy mass shooter in the street doesn’t have. That is all I meant. His service gave him the awareness to buy a book on moving and shooting. All I ever did was play paint ball which showed me that moving is better than not moving when people are hunting you.

That is all I meant. Basic alone would give an intelligent person enough to learn more and be more savvy than your average “I’m going to work to kill my ex and her boss” type mass shooter.
