Show me his quote where he said that.

Not from some hack writer who believes six people killed Kennedy at Dealy Plaza

First, will you tell Craig Roberts, Marine Vietnam vet and professional police officer, author of One Shot One Kill to his face that he is a hack?

Or will you content yourself with keyboard masturbation?

Here is the book Craig Roberts wrote featuring Hathcock in Chapter One (I gave my copy to our truck mechanic, a Marine vet):

One Shot One Kill : One Shot One Kill

Sasser was Roberts' police partner and a homicide detective.

Shooter, I will copy the paragraph, and any problem you have with it, you must take up with Craig Roberts, Marine Vietnam vet and police officer.

Any other action on your part is an admission that you hold the losing hand.

Craig Roberts, Kill Zone, CPI, 1994, pages 89-90:

According to my friend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, it could not be done as described by the FBI investigators. Gunny Hathcock, now retired, is the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills--and a total of over 300 actual kills counting those unconfirmed. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. When I called him to ask if he had seen the Zapruder film, he chuckled and cut me off. "Let me tell you what we did at Quantico," he began. "We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I can't do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified 'marksman' do it?"

Okay, shooter, contact Craig Roberts, call him a hack.

Tell it to the Marines.

No problem. You give me his phone number and I'll do it.

Now show me a direct quote that didn't come from a guy who claims six people killed JFK that day.

Perhaps you can tell us what the "it" was they were trying to duplicate?

Oswald shot three times at Kennedy's head (the only part of his body visible in the limo). One shot missed completely. One shot hit him in the back. The third and fatal shot just grazed Kennedy's skull. None of Ozwald's shots were a direct hit on the intended target.

Are you telling me the Marine sharpshooter could not duplicate two misses and a near miss out of three shots? If this is true we are all in trouble.
