Inexperienced? Poor excuse. When I was 21, it was my day in the barrel, lucky me... I was tasked to run a live hand grenade range at ROTC Summer Camp at Fort Lewis.
The NCOs didn’t know I was Rifle Team Captain at school, running a range was second nature to me. They were shocked that a cadet had complete control of the range.
Somebody needs to pay for such a senseless loss of life.
I love this scene from The Pacific.
