Ha! Good one.
We had a Marine, a colonel I think, come in and describe how he used our company's laser rangefinder to direct air support to take out about a thousand taliban in the earliest fighting in Afganistan. The enemy had them surrounded, their were literally only about a dozen marines, and they kept marking the ememy's positions and the F-18s would come in and blow them away. He said the rangefinders literally saved all of their lives as they thought they were doomed.
He and his men were very grateful and came to the company to say "thanks."
Surrounding Marines is a really dumb thing to do.
