Of course, both Naughton and McKinney should have apologized to the guard for putting him in such a position. If they were worthy of their status, they would have.

Years ago, when I was a major in the U.S. Army, I was stopped by the M.P. while I was jogging in the snow about 11 p.m., wearing a military jacket over my running clothes. (It was very cold.) The M.P., and enlisted man, apologized for stopping me but told me that I should not be wearing only part of my uniform like that. I assured him that he owed me no apology and then said, "I apologize to you for putting you in this position; it won't happen again." He was right. I was wrong.

A friend of mine, an MP, stopped Monk Myers, WW2 Hero type and Brigadeer General at a TCP on a blind corner, because an M88 was coming down the blind side of the intersection.

Old Monk ripped him a new ahole, just as the M88 went roaring by, never again sir my pal said, in response to getting drilled.

M88's don't stop all that well.
