He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

The right arm IS unsupported in the kneeling...both in the kneeling unsupported and kneeling supported...His elbow should be up though, according to the book.

I'm not sure he cared very much about form at the time that picture was taken.

Yer right, I was looking at the pic and thinking of the sitting position 
Real men measure once and cut.

They teach to tuck the elbows now. At least the Marine Corps does. I got on my son about what I thought was a horrible elbow down position and was told that how he was taught.

They not only tuck the elbows but they stand facing the target. Their justification is to avoid side wounds and take the bullets in the plates on the front. As if they are attracted by some magic force to that relatively small spot. They also don't do fire and movement the same, no going to ground because you're too heavy to get up. I better not get into the rest...I started in 74 and ended in 08...some things don't change for the better.
