The USS Cole; Kohlbar Towers; Afghanistan War; Al Queda....
Please stop me when you figure out that the area is a danger zone.
Wake up......damn marines. :>)
Okay, xzins, you're a retiree.
The USS Cole; Kohlbar Towers; Afghanistan War; Al Queda....
What does that have to do with anything? Nobody disputes that the Mideast is generally a war zone. Nice tactic, though. Ask me to defend decisions that I never supported in the first place. Guards anywhere should have live ammo. Including the guards on the Cole, at the Kohlbar Towers, etc.
Doesn't change the fact that we'd have a lot more than just one death if we issued live ammo to everyone participating in a non-live fire field exercise.
