They've got civil affairs guys doing patrols? WTF?

I'm glad the ACOG saved his life.

ALL Marines are riflemen. They take civil affairs guys along to work the natives.

All Marines are riflemen first. The MOS is secondary to that...and now, with the new training given to Marines for the close encounters they can face in these surroundings the Marine Times has called them "Gunslingers". Cool, huh!
