is sarcasm. Do you honestly think that the Springfield, a target rifle, is better than the Garand, a rifle that out-paced, out-shot and out-did every other rifle in service at the time (with the arguable exception of the Enfield)? Do you think room-clearing in Germany would have been any easier with a Springfield? What about jungle combat? People arguing that we've gone to "spray and pray" tactics have no clue. If we had gone to spray and pray, we would be using .22 LR as our primary infantry cartridge as it is far more controllable on full-auto and much cheaper. I've heard countless stories about how soldiers from Vietnam to Iraq were not allowed on penalty of discharge to use the full-auto capability on their M16s. The BAR showed the U.S. that full-auto fire is a very useful thing in modern warfare on the basic level, and it has not changed. The more holes you put in someone, the faster they bleed into shock, the better chance you have of surviving a conflict. A headshot stops them dead, sure, but how often will you get one? Not very often. You aren't sitting in a tree stand waiting for a non-aggressive, non-threatening, slow moving, grazing deer to come along and basically get himself shot. You are fighting people who may or may not be in uniform, who move fast, you are moving fast, headshots really aren't a practical thing to rely on. If you stop moving to take one, you'll be dead. In the case of a headshot you don't need much more than a .22 caliber bullet anyway, so the point is still moot.
Being as according to "Deer Hunter"(aka Elmer Fudd) General George S. Patton knows little or next to nothing about combat compared to himself I elect we make Elmer in charge and send him over to Iraq. I'm sure we could win that conflict in a matter of minutes. ("be verwee, verwee quiet ....... I'm hunting terrorists, hehehehehehehe)
Totally and completely obserd.
Hey Deer errrrr uhhh I mean Elmer ... all that and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee. You need to be spanked for blasphemeing the name of the great General George S. Patton. Heck, just typing his name makes me want to stand up salute and sing the Star Spangled Banner ........ shoot, I think I will! )Uhh... it's definitely sarcasm. No honest soldier needs more than five rounds - the oft-repeated Ruger mention. The spray and pray - classic slam at semi shooters by revolver-ers. And boltgunners who dislike semis.
, so pardon my naive questions here.I posted this on another page on THR, I am absolutely terrible at reading people in real life with body language, and it is just compounded on the internet.

To amend the original claim in response to your objections, la mission civilisatrice is an altruistic endeavor, not a national self-service. Likewise the whiteness in The White Man's Burden, with respect to race.
