"Cleland and his soldiers jumped off"

Not wrong. As CO you are responsible for your men. Twitching your grenade for a hair-trigger pull is just plain stupid. Perhaps if Cleland had paid closer attention to his men in training or done a proper gear check on the helo, he wouldn't be an amputee now.

Know what? i don't even beleive Cleland's account to begin with. He probably tried to frag himself to get home sooner.

"Ok men, time for grenade pin straightness inspection."

Sounds like something MASH's Major Frank Burns would do.
