    If I was in her position I'd probably want the Marines protecting me to have lots more ammo than they were supposed to. And grenades. And mines. And all of the friends they could muster with guns to spend the night.

    Too restrictive? Underwear a size too small is too restrictive, the ROE I had to deal with in 2009 was downright horrifying! You couldn't wipe your ass without worrying about getting prosecuted back home for it, much less defend yourself from a clear and present threat. We need to be more aggressive, Marines are not there to give hugs, Marines are there to kill the hapless bastard that dares to tease the wrong dog, and they're pretty good at it!

    So what is the worst thing that would happen to a Marine that stuffed a couple of loaded mags into his shorts?

    I'm thinking if I was given orders that risked my life for no good reason I'd just say "f" that noise. But then again I was never in the military so maybe that aspect of distrust of authority would have been beat out of me in basic.

    If you don't have it issued, it's pretty tough to get your hands on that over seas.
