Most grunts "Shoot to miss?" I assure you you are grossly misinformed,unless you are referring to something called " supressive fire" in order make it easier for other infantrymen to maneuver more unharrassed .
I can pretty much guarantee that ever since the first troglodyte picked up a stone and bashed someone in the head from a hostile tribe,there have been men staring blankly into the void trying to avoid awkward conversations with civilians trying to pry alcohol fueled war stories out of them etc.
