...No soldier ever said “clean my gun.” ...

I had an M16 in Viet Nam; you danged well cleaned that thing every time you could, or it would sure as hell jam.
FO’d on ROK (White Horse) patrols; we always took AK’s. They sounded the same as the VC and never jammed.
They should have kept the M-14 .308/7.62.
Yep, my cousin did the same. They sure stuck you guys with a lemon. I still have no idea why so many are fanatic about a firearm design that was about worthless in an environment like that. Not me... I want mine to cycle when I need it, mud, sand, ice... Cleaned or not.
