The only thing missing from this story were comments from Brandon.

Heh... I din't know they made MARPATs that small.

As a parent, that Brandon's "quotes" about how he felt were not used in the article, adds a level of reporting professionalism and respect for the child, and the parents, usually missing from similar civilian reports.

IMHO.
God Bless the Marines!

Terrorizing another innocent child I see :) It's a Marine thing.

They should have given him a real thrill, and taken him up in a F-15 Eagle. Let him shoot some target tanks.
