Yeah, I guess: I mean if you can accept seeing some of the men dead around you with worthless, jammed-up rifles lying next to them. Damn M-16 was total piece of crap when we first got them.
Luckily, somebody back home made a ton of money.
My dad said it was criminal all the dead marines he found with that damn rod down the barrel of their m-16 to clear jams.
He also said the Vietnamese actually structured their human wave attacks so that they didn’t risk anyone with a gun until the Americans were on their 5th or 6th magazine because that’s when the 16s would start to jam up.
