Hey, Mr Mephisto... devil avatar... You're evil! I get it now! =)
Yeah, you were being provocative, and I decided to poke you a bit with the vitriol line of discourse. You've taken it good-naturedly and I can definitely appreciate that. As you've refined your language a tad more, I can even see where you're coming from, from a personal history standpoint.
I showed the OICW page to my Pop today, and discussed it with him a bit. He's an Army vet of 24 years, a good portion of which was in the 82nd Airborne (Paratroopers, if you're not familiar with the unit). He was boggled by it, and said, and I quote, "I'm damned glad I'll never have to carry one of those things, and even more glad that I'll never have to lead a squad armed with 'em."
Looks like interesting times for the US Army ahead.
