If I had to boil it down, I would say it comes down to understanding what the requirements are on a macro and micro level for combat, and getting those requirements fulfilled in the equipment and training the soldiers get. <br /><br />How the government measures the results of the tests against these requirements is something I would want to look into as well as the actual testing itself. If I wanted to be charitable, I could say that any theoretical test can't possibly match what happens in combat. This is partially true, but considering the scenarios and terrain available, I am sure we can come close. <br /><br />That being said, objectively, we know what works, and what does not work. The Kalashnikov rifle is a known quantity and quality. It works under unimaginable conditions, it is simple, rugged and dependable. The only rifle we have had that comes close is the rifle designed by John Garand. <br /><br />We know the M-16 sucked, and we've known it for some time and even with the upgrades, it doesn't measure up. I guess my best advice is follow the money.The Right Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000916651068780486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35998080.post-89921475910754614022009-10-12T18:42:47.987-05:002009-10-12T18:42:47.987-05:00Everyone on both sides says that no matter what, t...Everyone on both sides says that no matter what, they support the troops.
