True. They could call him "properly equipped" since they were all over
the "improperly equipped" phase (body armour and such).

why don't they just remove the word lucky? makes it sound like the writer is disappointed or something.

I think he's lucky, but I also think having the right equipment
helped him out a lot too.

You're looking for something to pick at here. The young Marine himself said that if he'd bought a lottery ticket, he'd have won. I think the word is quite appropriate in the situation.

actually I'm not looking for anything. just my initial reaction.
and that comment by the Marine helps a bit.
