There is only one remaining question

[Joe Elliott]

Marksman is the lowest rating...and it is unacceptable in the Marine corps....A recruit cannot graduate from boot camp with less than a Sharpshooter rating.

False. In 1956, most Maines who successfully qualified did so as ?Marksman?, the lowest of three acceptable ratings. To this day ?Marksman?, ?Sharpshooter? and ?Expert? qualify one for being a Marine.

[Mark A. Oblazney]

The 1977 letter  of Billy Joe Lord and the brazen writing and TV debate from Nicholas B Lemann indicate there
was some sort of a tug of war ongoing, and this evidence is of cover up at the highest reaches....cover up of....what?
Nicholas Lemann's father Thomas, uncle Stephen, and step-aunt Baldwin are all mentioned in this 1990
obit of his step-grandmother, widow of his grandfather, Monte Lemann:

....and who can forget that Frank Pace joined the board of Time, Inc. just after Henry Luce's sister's husband,former publisher of Time Maurice "Tex" Moore and his law partner Roz Gilpatric negotiated the merger of Pace's General Dynamics
with "Henry Crown, Inc.?"

The three Marine categories are:
1.   Marksman (lowest)
2.   Sharpshooter (medium)
3.   Expert (expert)
In 1956, Oswald qualified as ?Sharpshooter?, the medium category. The same category as another Marine, Charles Whitman, who went crazy and killed about 16 people with a rifle in 1966. The longest range was over 400 yards. Like Oswald, it had been about 7 years since he had received his Marine training.
Most Marines only qualify at the lowest rating, ?Marksman?, which is still very good. One must still prove one is accurate at 200, 300 and 500 yards. In 1959, without retraining, Oswald scored as ?Marksman? which is a good score, although run of the mill for a Marine.

Maybe you should be the one to go check your facts and review the shooting categories of being a Marine.

In 1957 any Marine recruit who fired less than sharpshooter was a "Shitbird"

Disingenuous.  Whitman had been out of the Marines for 19 months.  Oswald had been out of the Marines for 4 years.  And Oswald barely qualified as Marksman (by one point) 4 months before his discharge.

 Explain to everyone please how Oswald can produce an EXIT wound on the REAR of JFK's head and an entry wound to his throat from BEHIND. If you believe the Sociopath's commission, three shots were fired from behind by Lee "Hardly" Oswald. Sorry, it's physically impossible. Let's lay it out for you: Parkland witnesses unanimously report the FRONTAL wound of entrance in JFK's throat and a massive wound to the right rear of the president's skull. How do you explain those bizarre photos in the public record alleged to be of JFK? How do you reconcile these discrepancies?

Secret Service agent Clint Hill was the first person to see JFK's head wound, when he climbed aboard the Lincoln just seconds after the fatal shot.  Hill said that he saw a small bullet hole in JFK's right temple just forward of his right ear at the hairline, and a massive blowout on the rear of JFK's skull.....
