What proportion of enlistees in the military post ww2 have ever a lot of shooting experience.
Sounds like presumably "USA" is not expending enough time and money on target practice - I would hope that UK still understand s the lesson taught by the Napoleonic wars that well trained and practiced troops are key to winning a firefight.
And crew served weapons is quite different to traditional marksmanship and that's where most of the killing is done these days.
