If the Marine can't demonstrate that the guy was physically assaulting someone or waving around a weapon, I think he's got a problem; you can't put someone in a chokehold for being nuts or having a bad day.
No, he didn't need to physically assault someone or waive around a weapon to be subdued. Verbal threat of harm, menacing, or terroristic threats would also justify taking him down.

Maybe a jury will agree.
