    It's every soldiers right, nay DUTY, to bitch and moan!
    Officer though have to try and keep it under their hats...
    If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

      What was the issue with the M3 material not transferring to the M2 Aren't they the same vehicle in terms of weapon capabilities

        No issues with the ammo. The range concept is what we couldn't use. Their planned scenario is different for a Cav Scout than an Infantryman. And we're shooting M1A2 SEPs this week, not the Brads.
        Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

          I am so glad my job is to taste test crayons to see which ones the kids eat first.

            One of our base documents for coming up with our training plan is this. A fairly good read. But absolutely nothing to do with mechanized warfare.
            Looks like good material. However you know that Big Army is going to reject it out of hand. There is SF and then there is Big Army. When you send it up atleast the MP material is in a format they know, and is described in terms they will understand. The SF style is fluid, dynamic, and driven by events on the ground. A complete anathema to any Brigade S shop product.

            Spare yourself the pain of six thousand revisions.
