Far be it for me to rules-lawyer ;), but I still think this is wrong.  
There is a definite difference between a TURN and an ACTIVATION.  A TURN

is the entire game turn from the first activation to the last.	The 
activation is merely the two actions a Squad can perform.  So yes, a 
squad can be activated and do all sorts of neat things, like removing 
suppression fire or tending to wounded or moving or getting into
position 
or close-assaulting or whatever, but it can only fire each weapon once 
per turn, not once per activation.

Yeah, unless one side doesn't have EW ;), like you're fighting low-tech 
guerrillas or something.

None of this really matters, of course.

Hey, does anyone out there allow a single squad to activate more than 
twice in a single turn?  i.e., a squad activates, then a leader
activates 
and re-activatest he squad, then the leader uses its section action to 
re-activate the squad a third time?  We haven't allowed this, but I'm
not 
sure if the rules specifically make it impossible or not.
