Just a stupid question about guns for a Sunday night

There was a riflemen in my company that was a total moron. When we got to Afghanistan his squad leader with the rest of the platoons backing took every magazine but one from him. It was the live fire rushing drill that was the icing on the cake. Where we work our way closer to the objective, every other person rushes while the ones not rushing cover fire. Well he never moved and just kept firing. With everybody else moving in and him still way in the back shooting his little heart out things got way to close for comfort. He ended up joining the Army once he got out of the USMC and my already low opinion of the Army has forever been brought even lower.

When I was in Haiti and a private, we were practicing squad tactics.  We had live rounds, but we did not shoot them because they had to be inventoried every night.  Anyways, when it was my team's turn to rush I discharged a round into the dirt because I was running with my finger on the trigger with my safety off.  My squad leader was so pissed, mainly about having to figure out how to come up with a new round so the inventory would not be messed up.  He kept it in the squad so I never got in real trouble, but I was filling sandbags all night when we got back to the base.
