ChuCK's Words of Wisdom

If you thought you were, you might have actually been. Problem being, if you were unaware if you were while you were, then knowing that you were in fact really that way is a moot point. Unless you knew you were the whole time, then you would be an ego-bag.

BANG! You're dead... wait... BANG NOW you're dead...

So as if our soldiers over across the pond don't have enough to worry abort, now they are having issues with the ammo they are using. According to sources, the soldiers in country are saying that the stopping power of their current munitions just don't cut it in the heavy close quarters combat they are seeing...

The military is reviewing soldiers' complaints that their standard ammunition isn't powerful enough for the type of fighting required in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army's highest-ranking officer said Thursday. But Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said it was too soon to say whether the Pentagon will switch.
Current and former soldiers interviewed by The Associated Press said the military's M855 rifle rounds are not powerful enough for close-in fighting in cities and towns in Iraq and Afghanistan.


My stance, if they need bigger guns and bullets... call A.C.M.E. and give it to them... beep beep!
