I guess there would be just as much outrage had that Marine been shot thru the head because someone wasn't following the basic rules of sentry duty?

Just as I thought, this story made the headlines of the local newspaper
and all the TV news channels. The soldier is claiming he acted in self
defense. I tend to believe him. I wonder why there were only two people
guarding this post in he first place?

Maybe the military has to go through the motions but I hope they back
this guy up on this.
