A few days ago I was watching one of Discovery network’s shows on the Kennedy Assassination, and figured I’d throw my hat in with my own opinion as a former sniper instructor, and someone whop’s worked with the CIA when I was a SEAL. The shots are very makable, especially given Oswald’s background as a former […]
