OI!
AS A FORMER, KNUCKLE DRAGGING, SLOPING FOREHEAD, PROFESSION -AL
KILLER, I AM FLATTERED THAT SOME ONE FINALLY REALIZES WHAT A RARE AND
VALUBLE SPECIES WE ARE!
REMF'S NEED TO BE ARMED, of course, but with the exception of the
engineers and the military police types who often find themselves
performing grunt functions when the feces hits the fan, i do not see
the need for first line combat weaponry for them. . . .
BUT, then i am prejudiced, as i have fought both as a grunt and as an
military policeman performing grunt duties, and have seen engineers
doing the same thing to on a regular basis.
And this moe new, moe wunnerful, moe expensive, whether it works or not,
is a headjob originating in the pentagon where project officers and
staff careers rise or fall with the success or failure of the project.
i would love to take this latest bunch of civilian bozos and their
military counterparts (they were on THC or TLC last year) from la-la
land who are now touting more humane non lethat warfare weapons into a
real kill or be killed firefight . . . .
(of course, i will lead from the rear and satety of a high tech
command track, off shore vessel, orbiting aircraft, CONUS war room,
etc, while offering them useful advice and orders!)
against mere 7th world idjits with AKs or bolt action rifles, grenades,
bows, spears, swords, knives, and clubs to combat them with glue-guns,
laserlights, capture nets, very long range stun darts using drugs, or
shock darts using electricity, gas sprayers, water guns, beanbag
blasters, tennis ball launchers, flower launchers bad langauge
dispensers, and anything else that is utterly ridicoulous to even
consider arming a combat soldier with for "humane warfare".
it would be a slaughter! scratch one mob of overweight, out of shape,
near sighted theoritcal experts!
and any brasshats and flying/floating/roll -ing armor plated desks that
think this is the way forward!
and politicians who have avoided pulling a trigger who think this is the
way to go!
(and i am a four-eyed crippled up, fatman now days!)
if it works, it ain't broke, and doan need fiddling with . . . . .
