Actually Oswald was an UNQ or an unqualified rifleman, he later just barely made marksman. He was a lousy shot.
I thought I had read that somewhere too. Wasn't sure but glad you pointed it out.
Again, shouldn't we be comparing Oswald with the general populace here instead of with other Marines? He may have been at the bottom of the barrel in the Marines, but was he not arguably a better shot than the average Joe Schmoe walking the streets in Dallas, Texas, that day? And does the fact that he didn't measure up as a shot compared to other Marines make it metaphysically impossible for him to, starting out with one cartridge already chambered ... that is another fact that a lot of people overlook; people think he had to work the bolt three times during those few seconds, but it was really only two ... hit a completely open, slow-moving target three times (although he missed the first shot; that's another fact people don't consider when pooh-poohing the single bullet theory) at a range of between 170 and 265 feet with a rifle equipped with a 4X scope?
