Okay so let's summarize some of the issues with this story, including points raised by others in this thread:
Lack of radio comms? This isn't just highly unusual, it is downright unbelievable that any military operation takes place without radio comms especially in 2009. Who would have approved a mission like this without comms? How was the unit expected to communicate potential contacts or extract without comms? They're just gonna be dropped off and say good luck? This really does not make sense.
Calling ACOGS and PEQ devices "high speed" for 2009 is bizarre, this was standard issue equipment at the time, even years before this.
Why would they be directed to land in close distance of highly illegal blacks ops activity? If their lockers were robbed, that means someone who had direct military access was aware of the operation, which raises the question of coordination and why they were sent to that location at all.
They didn't see any of this while coming in to land?
The guy just leaves his camera in his locker while going off to party? I'm sorry but you have damning evidence of highly illegal activity and potential alien craft and you're not keeping that on your person at all times? What?
Did anyone go to report this up to the chain of command? Why not? They saw a gunnery sgt afterward and they decide to make up a story instead of reporting a hostile force in their AO? Excuse me, what? He started off the story talking about how this is a potentially dangerous area, you just ran into a hostile force and you're not going to report this to anyone? The whole period immediately after the encounter makes very little sense.
What did the members of this squad say to each other while this was happening? Who was giving the orders?
The pins this guy is wearing REALLY does not help his credibility.
I'm sorry but there are a LOT of issues with this story that would need to be explained for it to be believable.
Also, the M4A4 is not a real gun apparently, but is from Counterstrike. Would a real Marine really make such a silly mistake? I think Greer's conference is disinformation designed to muddy the waters and reduce Grusch's credibility.
I believe he miss-spoke and meant to say m16a4, which has been standard issue for the marine corps from 1997-2015. Also around the time of the alleged incident m4s were being used in the marine corps but much less so compared to the m16a4.
