First off, have you served? In the USMC? If not, you don't get an opinion. If you have, then your opinion is just that. I personally have had tech items fail where iron sights were better. If Marines get used to the ACOG and never use the iron sights, this is a massive problem. You fall to your lowest level of training. Train like you fight, yes, but learn to master both all the time. If the ACOG fails, you should be able to detach and change your dope in less than 10 seconds. If not, you need more training.

> First off, have you served? In the USMC? If not, you don't get an opinion. This is the essence of veteran entitlement that I absolutely loathe. Non-veterans absolutely get to have an opinion about all things military, and they should, given civilian control of DoD. I'm embarrassed by fellow vets like you, USMC or not, who try to lord the fact that they served over others who want to contribute to military-related discussions.

  You're entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts. I know weapon systems like my own hand. If you don't, then everything you offer is simply an opinion, not a fact. And, in my OPINION, civilian control of the military is one of the reasons we haven't won a war since WWII.

    > in my OPINION, civilian control of the military is one of the reasons we haven't won a war since WWII So....you're saying that we should be ruled by a military junta? You're aware that civilians have controlled the US military for as long as the US has been an independent country, right?
