Been enlisted in the Marine Corps for 10 months. It rubs off on me
And Marine is spelled with a capital M, it is a proper title. Saying marine would be referring to water.

To Gekko, i'll admit that i'm not 100% sure about the genuiness of the article but although some details sound sketchy its not impossible, and I guarantee you that CNN wouldn't really keep this headline news for long and that would explain why its not known.

This is actually two articles. The first one, supposedly from the Daily Mirror, can't be confirmed by any news source. I mean, this isn't a Daily Mirror exclusive, it was supposedly reported by CENTCOM. It also isn't listed on any friendly fire reports. And you won't find Al Lockwood saying that on any news site.
Also, an incident like this would explode. First off, the British helicopter pilot would be facing huge charges for wrecklessly endangering coalition troops with his landing of the helicopter. Then more for assault. The Marine would've killed him, ok, so I'm biased there. But no Marine stands by as his friend gets in a fight, and there would be two British pilots, and quite a few Marines on the ground.
And getting into petty details, Furious would not be capitalized. Marine should be, though some journalists don't, this one did in the first paragraph, and they would be consistant. Also, one too many * in f*******.
Next article, to keep it real simple, there was never a two-star General in Delta Force. From 1977-1981 Col. Charlie Beckwith was Commanding Officer. Through the 80s they had Col. Rod Parschall, Col. Sherman williford, and Col. William Garrison. From 1991-1992 they had Col. Peter Schoomaker. From 1992 to present, they have Col. Jerry Boykin. Never a Major General in there.
