Geez,
This thread still has legs....
Theres plenty of "stupid" to go around in the MA....
And while I agree with Rino to a large extent here is the true reality. You have no obligation to clear the guy (chk 6 is a "required" undertaking IMO). H'es the guy flying his cartoon plane and he's got to fly how he "feels" is right.....as stupid as that is.
If I'm clearing a squaddie then I'm in till we're both out or both dead, but other then that the moment I see your simply banging to brains cells togeather to generate heat then I start thinking about pickin the guy on your 6 and if you live or not is a secondary consideration. Now there are alot of non squaddies I respect and i'll treat them like I would a squadmate...but thats an earned disticntion...
