@Shepard's Ghost: With VERY few exceptions, if you fire a weapon at a human target, you fire with killing intent, and you continue firing until the target stops moving. In a life-and-death situation, an attitude of misguided leniency is 90% likely to get your ass killed.

@Price25: No, I've never seen napalm used except in war movies and old stock footage; the Marine commander in Fallujah tried to requisition flamethrowers, but was shot down numerous times - it's bad publicity nowadays to give the enemy a reason NOT to fuck with you.

@DarthKenobi0: The first weapon any Marine recruit gets his or her hands on is the M16 service rifle, and it is the prodominant focus of Marine infantry training. The entire combat doctrine - EVERY ASPECT - of the Marine Corps is built around getting riflemen to the fight, and supporting them in destroying the enemy, and the training reflects that.

@Price25: My favorite sport is paintball.
