He was court martialed several times.....[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="leviathan91"]
I'm too lazy to look it up now but he was kicked out, most likely dishonorably discharged. The guy was a troublemaker and was obviously a sympathizer to the Soviet Union.

Still, he wasn't kicked out due to those courts-martial, he was given a hardship discharge which was later changed to undesirable when he told US officals about his plan to tell the Soviets about what he did while in the Marines.
Oh, Officer Tippit was shot with a revolver, not a rifle so calibers would be different.
You go against the witnesses who say Tippit was killed with an automatic pistol.[QUOTE="WhiteKnight77"]
[QUOTE="LOXO7"] I hear he dropped out or left with poor regards. In any case he was clearly a patsy.leviathan91
You do not just drop out of the Marine Corps or any other branch of the US military.

Yeah, the Russian part. His wife was Russian. Spoke Russian. Oswald wanted to live in Russia. This story was great for Communist fearing Americans to believe. This made him be the top of the CIA list of: who would most make a convincing story when they kill the president?[QUOTE="LOXO7"]220 feet with a bolt action riffle. 3 times in less than 12 seconds, through a tree. Not bad Oswald.WhiteKnight77
Don't forget that the tree in question would have been a lot shorter 49 years ago.
Perhaps. I don't know tree growth. Also the slope of the hill.[QUOTE="leviathan91"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] He had no shooting skill and the weapon he used doesn't lend itself to quick shots....LJS9502_basic
No shooting skill? The guy was an ex marine meaning he was trained to shoot. In fact, he first got sharpshooter (first rating) then barely got Marksman (third or last rating). Despite his performance drop, to say he wasn't skilled is, as I said before, false.
Try shooting a moving target from a distance and see how easy it is. It's not. It takes skill and Oswald had that skill even if he was a poor Marine.
Oswald didn't really display much skill as a marine. Just being a marine doesn't mean one is "skilled". He barely qualified....and didn't really do great the other time either. You only have to qualify....not be exceptional. I hear he dropped out or left with poor regards. In any case he was clearly a patsy.[QUOTE="LOXO7"]Minimum wage law strikes again!sSubZerOo... Yes because ending minimum wage is such a great idea... You're against competition. I am not.
