#13 Wasn't one from when he shot at a cliff wall and a stone came back and hit him on the arm? I don't think he had an re-enactment of that for his home movie collection. |

#12 Glenmore, fraud and self-promotion. IIRC, one of his Purple Hearts was for what amounted to a scratch on his but that required only a bandaid. |

#10 Sounds like he wasn't aiming at the person, just the vest. So all's good right? |

#9 @ #7: The ROE for 50 BMG is it's an anti-vehicle weapon in a machine gun, but usable for personel in a single shot, which a Barrett is. If you use a M2 BMG to shoot a person, you have to fill out a form that it was a mistake and you weren't aiming at him. No kidding. |

#7 To my knowlege, .50 cal can't be used with the US armed forces ROE as an 'anti-personnel' round, so good for the Brits! |
