Most heated situation and how did you diffuse it?

[Auset]

Let me know about one of the most heated situation and how you were able to diffuse it.

[Smooth]

I can't think of one that I diffused, but I'll share one that got diffused by itself. It was during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Me and a few Marines from my unit went on a convoy to another camp near the Iraqi-Kuwati border. This camp was getting heavily bombed and needed some supplies badly.

well on the drive over there four cars surrounded the truck we were in. And they stayed around us. These Kuwatis or Iraqis, or whatever they were pulled out weapons on us. Talk about me being pissed. The Marine that was driving got all nervous and couldn't operate. So me and my mans hopped out the truck and pointed our M-16's at them.

We stayed like that for what seems like an eternity, but it was only 2 or 3 minutes. We were yelling at each other in our own languages. When it was all said and done, my officer came running towards us and informed us that they were Kuwati p.d. and they got confused. Blah, blah, blah. We got a day off for not shooting at them, I just said that they got lucky. Being pissed off and nervous isn't a good mixture when you have guns pointed at you, plus you have 90 rounds that you can blast.
