Have you ever played paintball? It's about as close to combat as you can get. At any given moment, no matter how well concealed you are, you can be hit.
Now imagine walking down a crowded street with a loaded machine gun and at any moment you can get shot. The only difference is your not gonna get a welt from a paintball, your gonna die. Your walking down the street and you have kids comeing up to you asking for gum or chocolate, and then suddenly your fellow Marine walking next to you goes down becasue he was just shot in the neck.
This is a war zone, and warzones have civilians in then. The Marines aren't walking down the street shooting people at random; They are dealing with threats and engaging in fire fights.
