Outstanding interview!

I love getting first hand information.

Great read. I have heard several others that are active duty and have completed tours express the same feelings regarding training, specifically weapons manipulation and malfunctions. Thanks for sharing.

Great interview Littlelebowski.

Too bad no one who can make a difference, listens to our returning warriors. Progress in combat efficiency and effectiveness would have made an evolutionary leap with every unit rotation had they done so.

Thanks for posting that LL. Great read. Rammed his vehicle into a building to save a teammate inside, what a warrior.

Probably the most informative thing I'll read all week. Thank you for sharing that LL. PM inbound.

Very much enjoyed that.

My sincere thanks to the MSgt and his Marines for their efforts on our behalf.
