Does not matter, he was stupid and deficient in tactics and got shot. Kyle saw a imminent threat to his life and shot it. Feared for his life, end of story. I practiced being a sniper and never once got killed in mock battles. They even accused my of not having my equipment on to register I was dead,. I told them to shoot me and that was the only times as a sniper I showed dead when they accused me off not having my miles equipment on. I hid in Kudzu at night on a side of a hill. Pulling a gun when someone has a gun is suicide. He should have retreated and looked for a place to kill him. But to bad so sad!
