What would you do if you advanced to the front and you jumped in a fox hole under fire. The guy next to you turns to you and said he forgot his ammo and would like some of yours?

You need your ammo to defend yourself but he needs ammo to cover your ass. This guy in your fox hole is obviously not trustworthy. Do you put your trust in a guy who is obviously not able to keep up with one of the most important things in combat?

Do you share or not? Ive asked this before and the results seemed to be mixed.

I would give him 20 rounds and tell him once those are gone he needs to pray that more ammo for him will magically appear. Otherwise he needs to run his ass to the rear or the nearest ammo point and request his combat load + 20 rounds to replace those I had so generously loaned him to protect himself and me until more became available.

The moron would get one magazine. Honestly, I feel like the marine that left his ammo is more likely to have left his weapon as well. Especially in a location in which enemy fire is likely. Not to mention, if he is carless enough to leave ammo in a hostile location, he is going to endanger the rest of the company due to his carelessness. Send him off the line at the first available lull in fire.

I would give him enough to be able to immediately defend himself if necessary.
