This has been posted in the suggestion part of the forums, but the article is well worth its own discussion.

It's an article about the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan and it says much that people need to understand about the war.

"Soldiers fire grenades and automatic weapons"

DOH!

Fantastic article tho.

Would also like to hear from Kenwayy, as he'll be heading to Afghanistan in the spring and IIRC the 503rd is a light infantry unit like the 101st. (503rd makes up the 173rd Airborne Brigade I believe)

The media barely knows the basics on guns. Semi-auto = Full-auto in their minds.

PS - Dammit, I read up to page 3, the internet at work screws up as usual. I wait a bit, can get online again, and now the website isn't loading for some reason.

No, we call it the M240, but they're all FN MAGs really.


Up your ISO!
