#1 Best time to hit these buggers is late in the evening following normal duty hours. They have a terribly bad habit of sleeping togther and not posting a watch.

#3 OP: It's a real photo. It is my understanding that the marines ROE at the time were to use slingshots and only one arm, and they only had 30 seconds during which the two of them were allowed to fire their weapons.
