I think that some M-79's interspersed throughout the squads would be very helpful. They can lob grenades a long distance as well as use anti-personnal rounds to clear out clusters of bad buys.

Yea, and it has been posted a dozen times, too. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I did a search on the title of the post that appeared on the source BBS, with no hits. Probably should have done a keyword search.

Excellent, excellent post. The sad thing is how accurate the statements about the M249 are. I remember making (and hearing being made) the same statements back in the early 90s. Here we are 10-15 years later, we've got guys in the nastiest fight we've had since Vietnam and we're still using junk.
The M1911 is the best sidearm ever fielded.
Period.

Fun fact: Random autopsies on dead insurgents shows a high level of opiate use.Interesting.

The AK uses a .310 bullet and not a .308 round.
Of course I'm probably erring on .310, it might be .311 or .312. I know it's not 308 though.

I wonder how often our guys run into the 5.45 rather than the 7.62. That's suppose to be one nasty bastard =:-O
To: IonImplantGuru
This is news.
Thanks so much.

I recall the opiate is a local plant leaf that is chewed for "courage", as in Dutch courage.

It's been pulled several times too since the info is a bit detailed.
Nonetheless, I heard John Bachelor and that guy he's always on the phone with, discuss this note on WABC radio Friday night as if it were sent to them personally!
