In article .net,
says...

As much as I hate to say it, in Daryls defense haven't any of you
guys
done a live fire exercise? Of course though those times that I have
been
involved in them, we were shooting at targets near other soldiers (by
near I
mean to say 100-200 meters away, but never any closer)but not at other
soldiers.

I have, Ft Benning and other places.
And the idea that someone would delibetatly shoot a LAW at other
soldiers
in a training exercise is absurd.

I have had sabot shot over my position by mistake at a range.
They shut the place down for two days to investigate.

Yeah, the whole LAW thing is a bit out of control.

"nAt Fort Bragg, N.C., home of the 82nd Airborne Division, the Army has been
ordered to protect trees for the red-cockaded woodpecker by restricting
bivouacking, live fire and digging of foxholes.
