Situational Awareness – Case Study Nº 1

Question: Do you think the Lt. Coronel was unaware of something?

No, he was duped. That happens. However what got him into trouble was his overconfidence and sense of bravado. In his interviews, he often mentions how he is a Marine, that he doesn't back down from a fight.
That's great, but being a Marine who has been in two theatres and unharmed and so apparently thinks he can't be harmed at home. He described his situation as unfathomable. How could he be that naive with all that training?

A lot of things confuse me about this case as to why he took such poor preparations, precautions and planning. For example I would never take my 12 year old son to meet with strangers for a FTF sale of jewelry.

Right, but he took 4 kids to meet strangers. Despite his repeated statements about being a Marine and his training, I think the training only kicked in when he realized he was screwed (after the 3rd penetrating shot). None of his Marine training seemed to have been used in planning his meeting with strangers and he got his hat handed to him.
I see he has a bullet lodged in his pelvis. Another pelvis not shattered by a handgun wound.
