Amen... All training regardless for war or peace time MUST be the same. When I did my 3's in the PPCLI Battle School (NOT THE WESTERN AREA TRAINING CENTER!)we were reminded that "Train hard now. Peace is were you have the time to master your skills because when there's a war on your time is up." Chances are is he opened the feed tray and attempted to cock the weapon. Sometimes a live round will be logged in the chamber of the weapon and if the cocking handle is realeased the action will go forward. This will cause a catastrophic explosion in the chamber resulting in death. As for the idea of doing the "Charleston Stomp" to correct the stoppage I'm almost certain that the safety staff behind him would have stomped his head in for attempting that dance move. No matter what a infantryman is dead and nothing will bring him back. Remember that's our job. It's incredibly dangerous and unfortunately dying is in the job description. Rest hard brother.
