Praise God if they actually change to a more powerful service rifle, it's about time.
-------------------------------- Former C/Sgt: MCJROTC (2006-2008). Enlisting in the USMC August 5th 2010 (my 17th B-Day). Future 0311 (Infantryman) If you wont stand behind our troops feel free to stand in front of them. Every time someone votes Obama on election day, the Bill of Rigts will be in an ounce of more jeopardy. |
