When S/Sgt. Sal Giunta received the Medal of Honor, CBS Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan congratulated him. I like Logan. She is one of the few media personalities who seems admiring of our troops and somewhat conservative in her reporting.


Giunta replied that he wasn't outstanding, just a mediocre soldier. Amused and surprised, Logan asked again and Giunta said, "Just think of what the outstanding soldiers are like."


Those of us who saw Bill Jordan or Elmer Keith shoot saw the outstanding soldiers of marksmanship.


There are still some around. If Brian Pearce tells us that his guns performed in a certain manner, I feel that his field tests mean something. If an unknown individual posts his groups that are mostly mediocre or worse, that is space on the Net that should have been used for something else. It tells us very little about what the gun/ammo combo can do in more competent hands.
