"Just a few days after the attack, an angry Meyer told a reporter from McClatchy News Service that the off-site commanders’ decisions not to order artillery support “basically screwed our guys over."

Sounds like a major f-up. They had supporting arms available, requested them and did not get them. As for the "Marine" thing. When you graduate boot camp, you are a Marine for life, until you go to your grave. However, you are not always in the Marine Corps. A Marine is a Marine, period. You earned that title at Parris Island or San Diego or Quantico (in the officer's case).
