    It might only be good-natured humor, but not just every Marine could take it that way...
    "FYI, this was not a challenge to try to break them, we know reading comprehension is [not] a strong suit," she wrote later.

    I think that was great. The marines appreciate that kind of self deprecating humor. The use it among themselves all the time. And I agree that is one fine rifle. Sure wish I could own one.
