“The Marines are not real interested in your hyperventalating rationalizations and excuses for what happened”
Or I have seen enough of your posts to know you are full of SH#!
“You know doggone well units in the field do not ALL sleep at the same time”
You are the only one that has made that statement. Nobody else even suggested it. However, it is important for individuals posted as sentry to stay awake. It one man falls asleep it can and does result in the deaths of those he is supposed to be protecting.
DD, you didn’t read the thread all that well or you’d know that’s the scenario the summary court martial crowd had in mind.
driftdiver, don’t you know? Guard duty is a team sport played because there aren’t any nearby bars for drinking. It isn’t as though some pull the duty while others sleep. And in muawiyah-world, there are just tons of guys doing the guard duty, because they will all get a good sleep after their shift is over. Lots of redundancy! And exhaustion is something that only happens due to medical condition!
Unfortunately, the US military rarely gets to pull combat duty in muawiyah-world...
