Yeah, twice in the "kill zone". /sarc

These guys are supposed to be warriors, not Barney Fife.

He shot him in the ass! I’d say that was not only a hit but an insult as well.

I think it was is a good decision. These guardsmen are demonstrating that they’re well trained and disciplined. This doesn’t seem to be a ‘kill shot’ situation to me. We want him alive so we can waterboard him to find out who activated him. In different parlance, we want to find out his motivations, was he inspired to this action by the seditious six, who’s he been in contact with. Lets do a drill down. Can’t do that when he’s dancing with virgins in hell. Let’s pray he survives so we can pump him for information and find out his networks. Shooting him in the butt was a smart decision.

From the pic it looks like the goatherd’s ass was his largest target.
