A good deal of historical information that continues to have application today. The basics remain firm, “This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me…” from the ‘Rifleman’s Creed’: http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_corps_rifleman's_creed.htm
