Many good replies! My hat is off to all who served, who are serving, or ever will serve!
That said, even Special Ops training, doesn't teach a person the ins and outs of animal "hunting!"
Looking back at famous military people like Sgt. York, his "hunting" and "shooting" skills made him a better Soldier, not the other way around!
Another factor back then was, the military weaponry was similar to the guns used for hunting! Today's military gun systems, don't even "sight-in" like "hunting" guns (unless of course it is a sniper rifle!)
I have a good friend that spent 20 years teaching the M-16, he has repaired thousands of them! He can recite the manual word for word! But, a Hunter, he is not! And, an M-16 is not a Winchester M-70 with a 3X9 scope!
