Did anyone ever figure out why Dowdy was relieved of command? Was it connected in any manner with the KIA also named Dowdy? Anyone in the know?

He would rather see someone shooting at him brought down then to see one of his Marines lying in the dirt. This strikes me as a rather obvious point. One would hope that this perspective is not an uncommon one among Marines.

350 yard shot at with a center mass hit using iron sights on a moving target I assume. Very impressive Cpl Perkins, very impressive.

Cpl Perkins is a marine, there are MANY like him in the corps.
We can all thank God for that.
