The accused sniper supposedly shot 2000 rounds per week in practice through a M14 / M21 / M25 sniper rifle.
Considering that the typical accuracy life of these guns is around 3,000 rounds or perhaps 4,000 rounds if you are really lucky, it would mean he would need to have a new barrel installed and the gun re-tuned every two weeks or so....
That is a lot of barrels and a lot of rifles not to mention ammunition to expend for practice in Iraq at the far end of a logistics chain.

Finally got around to seeing Deadpool and Wolverine. I liked it! Enjoyable! It was cool seeing all the stars from past movies. Also the Fox/Disney references were pretty sly.
Overall, I'd give it a solid 8.1/10.
Thanks for letting me know about that one. I was on the fence, but you convinced me to take the plunge and I'm glad I did.

On the second Jack Reacher movie, the Sheriff arrests Reacher and goes through the items he is carrying.
The only form of ID that is mentioned is an expired military ID. Sheriff comments on no address and Reacher being homeless, but the military ID card doesn't list an address, so the there is no reason to form a conclusion from what he found. The other fact to note is that while Enlisted ID cards DO have an expiration date (end of enlistment term), Officer ID cards have no expiration date for commissioned officers. I am not sure about Warrant Officers, but Reacher's character is a Major.

The Package. Classic Cold War movie with Geno and Tommy Lee. I must have seen it at least twenty times.

I'd agree with that. Technically it's a well-made film but the story is too much of an obvious pastiche of other Alien films. There are a few logical issues and the speed at which the xenomorphs develop is absurdly fast. (There's also the question of where they are getting the mass from in order to grow so big given they never seem to eat anything.)
Still far better than the dreadful Alien Covenant.

Denzel is good in just about anything.
Russel Crowe was good in this too
