[quote:6bdeb]I was in a line infantry battalion, in the scout sniper platoon, which each Marine Corps infantry battalion has. It was a rather small platoon. I was lucky for that. I wasn’t just a grunt, though I’d been a grunt. Every Marine is a grunt, they say, because you have a rifle, and you’re supposed to be prepared to kill.[/quote:6bdeb]
