I'm sure they have live ammo. Just those participating in the exercise weren't loaded with live ammo. Get it? Like Sonar said, you can't be pretending to shoot each other as an exercise, with live ammo. (Then we'll be crying 'stupid military' because of that.) And, like Sonar said, you would have to post a perimeter guard, locked and loaded, around the area where they intend to carry out the exercise.

Can you believe some of the posters to this thread? I guess they wanted the added realism of Marines shooting Marines. If they were doing MOUT training and I was the OPFOR I would hope they did not have live ammunition. Can you imagine the clamour if they would have used paint balls? Or how about MILES?
