Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 161
We have seen before that when the enemy is fleeing or has his back turned, he is far more likely to be killed. One reason for this is that in doing so he has provided both means and opportunity for his opponent to kill without endangering himself. Steve Banko achieved both means and opportunity when he was able to sneak up on and shoot a Vietcong soldier. "They didn't know I existed," said Banko, and that made it possible for him to muster his courage, and he "squeezed softly on the trigger."
