Marines in fatal assault had no ammo

Doesn't change the fact that we'd have a lot more than just one death if we issued live ammo to everyone participating in a non-live fire field exercise.

If you issued live ammo to everyone participating in a non-live fire ftx, then I'd have to wonder why that planner's head was screwed on so loose that he insisted on calling it a non-live fire exercise.

If you're at an ftx site, we could issue live rounds and call it a LIVE FIRE EXERCISE. (Now there's a thought...hmmmm)

Or we could RUN IT according to the rules of a live fire ftx but have all the in-gun clips be blanks. Every troop, however, could be issue a live clip for the left ammo pouch in case of emergencies. Since we're running by live fire rules, then even in the instance of a mistake on clips we still ahve the necessary structures in place to prevent an accident.

Meant no insult to you. Point being, there are a lot of positons in the AF that don't demand a lot. All of the branches have them. Then there are others that do demand a lot. Sorry you took my comment wrong, I don't have the ability to put tone or facial expressions in a post.
And to answer your question...warrior week is a joke and it is for puss%^s.

v/r,
