So, I would never disagree with that point. Language semantics aside. All I'm saying is, wait until there is a fair trial before looking for a rope. And the fact remains, I never discharged a weapon accidentally or negligently or however you want to describe it. I did discharge it when required. As far as the training was concerned ... we were only taught to hit the flip up targets at 300m (M16). At the time no one ever discussed where your finger should be (in or out of the finger guard). I seriously doubt that, even now, any of the 5 services teach a finger position for the line troopie in their standard weapons training.
