That sounds like a very wise LT. It seems that the marines are getting more aedaptive in this new war environment. It's good tio see the other side of the fence fighting a good fight, as well. We were in Tikrit, on a trailblazer mission, so we didn't interact AS MUCH with the COB's. When we DID have contact, we treated them with as much respect as we could given the situation. we still searched their house/ property, but did it in a respectful manner, explaining as we went along.

The LT interviewed by maximus shows the new breed of "intelligent" officers that (not only) the Marines need, but the Army demands. I wish we had more like him to call the shots. It would make my job 100% easier!!

Again, just another opinion from a lowly buck sgt.
