“Thousands of Americans died in Vietnam with their useless, jammed, untested, rushed into combat piece-of-crap AR-15s in their hands. I’d prefer not to see a repeat in Afghanistan. “

Maybe “thousands” died because they are required to have an IQ three points more than a fork to use it.

I see it today. The more technically advanced the equipment the dumber the troops are to absorb the technology...Not enough time is given for training....and the IQ factor isn’t getting any better.....

Someone posted “Maybe “thousands” died because they are required to have an IQ three points more than a fork to use it.” under your name.

I thought you might want to check out that post/poster. Perhaps it was done by a Colt Industries publicity flack.

I can’t imagine a FReeper putting down the I.Q. of American Vietnam Era soldiers just because they were forced to carry an unproven and egregiously unreliable weapon.
