On Your Six, AMERICA! Cpl Ledbetter

Cpl. Tyler Ledbetter, Headquarters Battery, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, draws a deadly bead on a rapidly approaching car as his commanding officer, Lt. Col. James C. Lewis, observes from behind-- some where near Fire Base Fiddler's Green in the Helmand province of Afghanistan, July 18, 2009. Pay attention to Ledbetter's rifle sling. Tight. See. Around the back and front. No slack. Steady the Aim. After that--it's windage and elevation, America.
