Summary The Marines make a costly and fatal error and receive a "Mr., No more mistakes!" ultimatum from Dark himself, while establishing a "blood debt". The event is recounted from both the Marine's and Iraqi's personal testimonials. Scenarios of how it could have taken an extreme turn for the worse, and led to an international incident, are analyzed. Marines, and Corpsman, explain the incredible and spontaneous decision to transport a dead tribe member to the hospital in order to calm heightening aggression between Dark's armed foot-soldiers and the Marines. In the heat of battle a decision to support Dark as an ally is made, leading to subsequent meetings to establish overall power and command. In order to define who were the real bad guys, the unparalleled decision to arm certain Iraqis, previously perceived as the enemy, is considered by Whisnant and the higher up chain of command. Marine "government trained killers" are now instructed to act against their conditioning and their own better judgment, as they must trust the system and their leadership on the field. They navigate the confusing landscape of armed "Good Bad Guys" with caution and a self-preserving dose of skepticism. Col. Whisnant discuses who Dark was, why he became so empowered, and what led to the USMC ultimately trusting him and he them, despite some unexpected missteps during combat. It is explained what the U.S. government had hoped to accomplish by being in bed with a potential enemy, and how that has dangerously backfired throughout the region in the past.
