Yeah, infantry for 4 years, recon/snipers. Saw a guy who was only 18 get shot up in a live fire exercise about 10 yards from me (I didn't shoot him, guy next to me did) and about a month later, a good mate of mine had 3 grenades detonate in one of his pouches and his body from the chest down became vapour about 30 metres from me. That one was hard to take.

We also use to get shown videos of gunshot victims and how they react as part of first aid training, so you wouldn't freak so much when it happens in front of your eyes..don't work, seeing someone get shot up aint easy to see.

A beheading is a lot more inhuman and personal than that, and is disturbing, but the gore of it is nothing new to my eyes sadly. The message of it all is pretty harsh though.

Nah, we don't have marines bro, regular Army.

Recon was awesome, wish I never left...(if never hurt my back, probably wouldn't have)
