God bless the US Marines!In the matter-of-fact manner of a professional Marine, Sgt Lanctot told me, “I followed the trail, and, having left my weapon, ammo, and web gear on the berm, I pulled out my Columbia River Knife and Tool folder. I made my way along the canal and into the reeds. Suddenly one of the enemy popped up and grabbed my right arm.”

Grabbing a Marine just lets him know where you are :-)
Good job

Its not the weapon,its the man.
I suspect that Sgt. Lanctot could have done the deed with a stick if he needed to.

These are the kind of things that get drilled in us Marines, especially us grunts, constantly. He did what he had to in order to make it through the day, with what he had.
Sounds like he had a good doc too, I love green side corpsmen, some of them are better Marines than some Marines are.

In World War II, Navy Corpsmen earned seven Medals of Honor, 61 Navy Crosses, 465 Silver Stars, and 982 Bronze Stars.
