So whatever THIS thread is about, Da Grape is standing on my last nerve - AGAIN - and I'm just telling him to step off.
That's it.

Then put me on ignore. Not once here have I made Marines out to be"the epitomy of military virtue." Its just smoke and mirrors, like I said "Deny, Deny, Deny and make counter accusations."

He's probably the father of that young Marine that told my buddy that even though they were two pay-grades apart, he didn't have to do what he said, because he wasn't a MARINE NCO, just an Air Force guy. He said that's what they taught him at Parris Island.

That young Marine should have had his s*it jumped. That isn't what they teack at either MCRD

Because a decision has to be made, and that 75% probability that you're going to be right will have to be good enough to go ahead and release hell onto SOMEbody, because NOT shooting will get somebody - probably OUR guys - killed, too.

I disagree with this, and will continue to voice my opinion about a cavalier
attitude like that.
And quite frankly, I'm suprised you feel that way. Your son is in the Army and God forbid, if he was injured or killed due to friendly fire, I don't think you would accept the "We were 70% sure."
I want the problem fixed before young Gun Grape dons a uniform.
