"1st Infantry Division Soldier shows amazing restraint." And extremely good aim, I might add. I got news, he wasn't a good aim nor was he showing "amazing restraint"--the kid would've been deader than a hammer had this guy not missed the center-mass shot he was going for. My guess is the kid came out, guys were ducking, jumping, dropping, and this one Joe got a shot off and accidentally hit the kid in the foot. Pure luck was involved here, folks. That kid should be dead.

Oh well, the kid's really fortunate to be alive anyway. Yeah, I can understand the aim being off when all hell breaks loose like that.

I agree, like you said, that kid should be deader'n a doornail. But boy, wouldn't that give the socialist media some fodder to hammer our boys with?

That kid should be dead.

I agree that training would dictate center mass, but some troops have been thinking long and hard and may be deviating from their training because they don't want to wake up every night with a dead child's face haunting them.

I am not saying that it is right, but it has happened before.

The soldier did well; and I am very glad that the child is alive.

I agree- "warning shots" are not part of IA Drills (at least not when I was in ). If you shoot, you shoot to STOP- and that means center-mass X 2, follow-ups as needed.
