And that is why the gunny reacted the way he did.

I actually thought of this scene when I read the original post.

Well that's a movie that's telling a story about something that happened 80 years ago. No matter how "right" you are that gunny would be a lance corporal before the sun set for doing that today.

I had about two months until my retirement paperwork went forward and I'm working a rifle range with some pogue unit I've never heard of who want to fire night familiarization fire.
I begged them to not do it, they simply weren't trained and dangerous.
Sometime during their "fam fire" against my instructions a shooter had a miss fire, stood up with her weapon and turned around 180. I was moving to her position telling her stop, no about face when she jammed her flashider into my kevlar and next to my temple.
I lost my sh-t and bad to take a walk.
