| Well, theres a problem with that.... Its called friendly fire, and I've been on the recieveing end of some Jarheads low IQ's.... When ur not intelligent enough to verify the target you are firing at, u deserve the ass beating u get from a really pissed off E-5, who had a bullet miss his head by 2 feet.....
No Marine ever saved my ass in a firefight... Some Apaches did once, as well as a -130...
Plain and simple, intelligence matters pD...

Country: | Me too. The situation isn't funny, but the way Les tells a story can make it funny. The narrative was comedy gold, Les!

Country: | LOL. Well, i tried to make it humorous, but it really wasnt... We laughed about me knockin his ass out in the helo after extraction...
Later on in our tent, they were repeating the gurgling sound he was making when I was choking him.. They all thought it sooooooo funny...
It was kinda funny, i gotta admit... The look on his face when I grabbed him is something I'll never forget....

Country: | Yes, of course intelligence matters. I was talking general intelligence, like in day to day life. Most Marines don't even have a 6th Grade reading level.
U.S Military doctrine for a long time has been based around fire superiority, Marines serve that purpose.
