This country has NOT WON a war since we got rid of the M-1 Garand, The Browning Automatic Rifle and the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun. Go back to these and get rid of WOMEN in the “military” and we just MAY start winning wars again.

The AR is more accurate and more dependable that M1. The BAR is a kickass light machine gun, no debate there. I also love the Thompson.

“This country has NOT WON a war since”

...since liberals (read: Communsits) unfluenced the DoD through politics. The weapons had nothing to do with it.

Have we even officially declared a war since those days?

Regardless of what they are called, though, it seems like the troops have done plenty well with the equipment provided to them in the first Gulf War, Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Afghanistan, etc...

Americans are WINNERS, and I’d put all of those in the WIN column. :)
