If that jarine would have cooked off his grenade he wouldn't have had to play hot potatoe with the bad guys in the first place .....  Brave I'll give him  that..  I also give him a grade of D- for not cooking off his grenade.. (would have been F if he got blown up by his own grenade..)

wtf are they teaching these kids..  this is basic stuff...

The Marines are great and all but why didn't he become an aviator? If Chuck Yeager was my Granpa. I'd definitely be flying something with reheat.

Maybe, just maybe, there was some fog of war involved here.  His buddy had just been shot right in front of him, he was in a small house in a city full of hostiles.  How many times have you been in that situation?
