The difference here is we (trying to tell you) did sniper training and were in the units like Recce and Snipers...and the books give you direction. You discount pams but have no background. We ain't passing second hand info. I personally was in a sniper team overseas in '75. Some of these guys did lots of it.

You hopefully know what the point was about the limitations of training manuals.
But since you know so much about the Sight, Fixed Line for example, maybe you can explain what the manual means by preserving the setting while replacing it in the case?
....This sight could be employed on the Vickers, 81mm mortar as well so one class on this sight could teach three weapon courses the use of the same sight....
Obvious nonsense, only the optical portion is the same between the two sights.
I'll say this as kindly as I can: it's more than thirty five years since I first heard you holding forth (in person) and your issues which were obvious to me then, are obvious to more people than you apparently realize.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

Well, it had to get personal, didn't it? I think we've covered the topic well. Bye.
