Bret also mentioned something about personal are also involved in the firefight and that this is very unusual for this to happen

Sounded like it was our 'office' guys there, not front line troops he was talking about.

IF THEY ARE HOLDING WEAPONS, SHOOT UM'!

Thanks for clearing that up

There's no such thing as 'office guys' in the 1st MarDiv. They are all Marines and they will acquit themselves well.

I was in the 1st MarDiv twice. The second time, I was assigned to the HQ. The 'office guys' you refer to are drawn from the ranks of the combat forces. I'll bet a great number of them were blooded before this action.

Sit back, and see what happens when the 'office guys' just happen to be Marines.
