The indictment should be on .223, not Marines. Less lethal calibre, more shots fired and more people with their panties in a wad over how many rounds it took to take the bad guys down.

I heard from a guy in the 3rd ID who picked up a British .303 at the beginning of the war. When he hit someone, they stayed down for good.

Couldn't agree more. When the Hell is our Army and Marines going to go back to using the NATO round or even a more potent round.

There is a significant portion of the domestic population who screams bloody blue murder every time it takes multiple wounds to bring down a perp wacked out on Angel Dust. "Excessive force".

You expect them to 'get it' dealing with doped up jihadis in an already adrenaline-rich CQB environment?

Maybe the .45 in a subgun would be a good item to have around--or bird/buckshot loads for the M203...
