Probably not. Every continuum if force class I've received specifically mentioned not to use warning shots. USMC. What branch/detail are you talking about?

If you draw your gun and don't shoot it, that's proof right there you didn't really fear for your life, is what I was taught in training classes.

Army. Guarding ammo facility. It was in writing to fire warning shots whenever possible.

Were you guarding an ammo facility in or near Syria under Michael's Husband? Because I could see him issuing orders to fire "warning shots" and then to retreat. But only to retreat after opening the locks, and helping the intruders load the heavy weapons.

I served under Clinton. Stateside and in Europe/Balkans. The one exception was Stinger ground to air missiles. You were to prevent those from being stolen at all cost.

I did a training exercise (usmc) in the Philippines. one day after a joint range day, local Filipinos tried to raid all the brass to pick up. The Filipino marines fired warning shots at them and our first sergeant flipped his shit cuz we don’t do that in the marines. People in the back of the convoy thought we were under contact. Good times.
