132. Army Rangers are expert shooters...
it's not impossible and is even realistic. I knew some special forces guys who could hit pretty much anything they aimed at no matter what they were doing. They were half-crazy, too.

You said in your post you spoke up about this and was accused of wearing a tinfoil hat.

I've read the reports and followed this story, too. This thing was fucked up from the very beginning. Everything I have read does not indicate in any way that this was intentional.

The guys who did it tried to cover up their screw-up and made it worse which lead to questions like these being raised. They kept changing their stories when they should've owned up to it from the very beginning. From the moment the first bullet was fired, these guys screwed up and it cost a man's life. They got scared, burned the evidence and lied.

Friendly fire is an unfortunate fact of war, but attempting to cover it up like this sure would get conspiracies going.
