"he should have plugged the guy with one short burst."

Sad but true. Sgt. York killed seven with seven shots. How times have changed. 'Spray and pray' seems to be the tactics of too many young amateurs in both law enforcement and the military. I am willing to give Spc. Ross a pass this time because of the outcome.

Practice, practice, practice!

I hope those of you that are complaining about this young man's marksmanship are joking. Had he not been an expert in the use his weapon, then there most likely would have a lot of dead Americans.

But York wasn't shooting at relatively fast moving, and possibly lightly armored, vehicle either. He got the job done that needed doing with whatever tool he had at hand.
