I can't speak for everyone. But I strictly ran semi auto.

I attended the 15th reunion, during the reunion some very high ranking Officers were giving out statistics on how CAS and CFF missions were being called on us at very close ranges and in incredible numbers. I enclosed a video so you can see what the conditions were like for us as we were very happy ...

will calling in a danger close fire mission from let's say an artillery strike or a JDAM from an f18 result on your squad mates questioning you or pointing out how this could end very badly? I laughed reading this. Nobody questioned the "sir" when he decides to drop bombs danger close. We...

I'm wondering if anyone here has visited the exhibit at London's Imperial War Museum. If so, what was it like and did you get to see some never before seen interviews and insight on the creative process of the project?

Doctrine says to never clear a room using an open-bolt weapon like the SAW as point. Although, I can tell you from experience that wasn't always followed through. We had to make due with what we had available. With the men we still had available.

As for my issued gear I carried a M16A4 with a VLI, PEQ2, and an ACOG with a foward grip. I also had pressure pads positioned o...

Not a dumb question. It comes down to personal preference really. Anecdotally some would say it was more difficult to line up your shots when you're outside on an always hot sunny day. Some would argue that the red chevron was just to bright for them.

Looking into the ocular lens of an ACOG a red chevron presents itself. This bright red chevron is produced by the red fiber optic positioned on the top of the ACOG. If you cover the red fiber optic with your hand you can then dim the red chevron that you see through the ocular lens. What some infant...
