Because it is the source of information. By allowing them to have access to it, we can just listen in and read their mail and they are exposing themselves with every call and keystroke.

Chronic jamming problems with the talcum powder like sand over there. The sand is everywhere. [The Marine] says you feel filthy 2 minutes after coming out of the shower

I don't know about the last part there. The only time I felt dirty after being out of the shower for 2 minute was when the sand storms would blow in. Otherwise, it wasn't that bad until the rains started. Then the sand becomes mud with the consistency of baby snot.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it.

"Oh brother, this one is worse than those bogus "George Carlin" rants."

Yeah, this one has been around the 'net for a while now, and attributed differently with each interation.

Fun for this sort of bar-room conversation, though... $;-)

i've seeen this a number of times now, and it has been thoroughly torn apart everytime. a couple of the models are wrong, the failures/ mafunctions are complaints that have been around for years. and 6lb body armour? don't think so.
he does get it right on that some of the best weapons technology is the oldest.

No argument there. I'm just pointing out it's a 'net creation, like those bogus George Carlin rants. Usually, I agree with the bogus George Carlin rants too. I'm just saying it's a net phenomenon, for folks to put false attribution onto their own rants, to give them more credibility. Whether the author claims to be George Carlin, or "my nephew in Iraq."

Not surprising that the 45 would be favorably viewed in that environment. Penetrating power of the 9mm isn't needed against adversaries not likely to be wearing clothing or equipment that would be a much of a barrier and since we can't use hollowpoints.

They all hate the 5.56mm (.223) round.

Yup, no agenda here.

Feedback on the performance of the USMC's recently adopted 20" M16A4 is uniformly positive, and interest in both the XM8 and 6.8SPC continues to diminish.

Article has a mixture of truth and fiction, like most good urban legends.
