Rather than some frenzied killing spree, Sharratt says that the Marines in 3-1 Kilo Company raided 22 homes that day, but only fired their weapons in four instances. They took 30 prisoners, and found weapons, thousands of dollars in US cash, and Jordanian passports, and he says that the allegations they murdered civilians are patently false. "The bottom line is," says Sharratt, "what were the Rules of Engagement that day, and did the Marines of 3-1 Kilo Co. follow them faithfully to the best of their ability? That is what this case will hinge on".

IOW... they're after bigger fish.

"...what were the Rules of Engagement that day...?"

"That day"? It changes every day, like what kind of stuff to put in your backpack or what uniform to wear?

Excellent point, Jiggy.

Makes it even harder to follow them faithfully

[Valin]

It depends on the mission & where they are going.
