Dont blame the rifle, blame the round

It ain't the missing that is the problem, it's the hitting and them not falling down that's the problem!   

Didn't we send most of our M-14s to Lithuania et al. places under BJ klintoon? Doubt that they want to give them back.

Estonia and Latvia as well, Bush got them back during his first term.

CD, Glad to see you posting, What do you see there, are we all full of crap or what ?

Its always a training issue.  Teach the troops proper weapons maintance and how and were to place those rounds effectively.  Rounds still need to be placed into the CNS area to be effective.  I learned long ago the old saying is true, "Train as you fight, fight as you train".  Going home for two weeks leave beginning of Jul then back for a second year here.

Thanks for our support.  I retired after 24+yrs and have only been home for 6 months since retiring 2.5 yrs ago.  Theres still work to be done over here.  It will be good to see my wife and youngest son again as we go on a cruise.  My oldest son, DIL and grandson are going too.  Then my son goes back on his 4th tour to Iraq in Aug.

See, this is too much. When we are in war for national survival, asking someone to enlist for the duration is justified. In a war of choice in a 3rd world shit hole we can take or leave? Four tours is beyond enough. Assuming he's army we're looking at close to 18 months. How many times do you have to put your butt on the line in East Where in the Hell, when your neighbors can't find it on the map and the brass and politicians can't clearly define what constitutes victory? CD, I pray for your son and weep for our country.
