<<didn't shoot fast enough when a kamikaze driver rammed his terror truck through the gate. It took the leatherneck one full second to chamber a round, another second to flip his weapon off safety and fire. By that time, the truck had smacked into the Marine billet he was securing and exploded. The Rules of Engagement forbade this expert rifleman from being locked and loaded even though his unit was on high alert for just such an attack. And those two seconds he lost arming his weapon cost 241 American lives.>> This assumes that given loaded conditions, the marine would have hit the driver square on and basically killed or mortally wounded him with the first shot. It also assumes that the marine himself and others would not have been killed by the truck bomb even if he had hit the driver square on and basically killed or mortally wounded him with the first shot. In other words, if the marine had hit the driver with his first shot, then no one other than the suicide driver would have been killed !?
