I guess I’m bothered by the words “assault rifle” in the article. Makes me wonder who wrote it.
Or has the Marine Corp gone so far left that their weapons are now called assault rifles?
I don’t care
On the contrary, what the Marine Corps is using are honest-to-God Assault Rifles, select-fire weapons used in military applications (including infantry assaults).
This is one of the few correct applications of the term that I've seen in media.
“In times of war and not before, God and the soldier we adore. But in times of peace and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted.”
I offer WWII Red Army snipers as proof. Not to mention the female fighter pilots of same.
Proof of what, that old men and women with shooting talent can shoot as long as the place they are shooting from is easy to get to and doesn’t involve physical hardship, things that the men they would be replacing can do.
In the American military, the question is whether they can do everything and every sniper mission that the man they are replacing can do, or does their physical weakness limit them?
The women Scout Snipers are replacing men, they aren’t just extra people adding to the group, you don’t get the female until you remove the male.
While your post didn’t make any sense in regard to the thread topic, or anything else, you cared enough to read the article and post to the thread so you must care.
Speaking of not making sense, you claim in your Tag Line to be a “NATO warrior” yet you have refused to explain what this means. Why not let others decide what honors you deserve?
“””””I don’t care”””””
It seems you really are here just to troll people disrupt threads and really aren’t interested in the topics.
*Meanwhile, the U.S. Army is actually expanding its sniper program. Including women. Go figure...*
