Very good SITREP on Weapons, Tactics,etc:

VERY GOOD! Maybe I think that because I expected every analysis I read.

The M16/AK47 comparison makes me shake my head. We knew in the 60s that the 47 would stand up against jams better than the 16, and why. And here we are, 40 years later, with the same situation. You can toss a 47 in the sand and still fire it. Not so the 16. The Russians always build "loose." The T-34 tank was clunky but much more rugged than the Tiger.

We have a very bad situation developing in the relationship between our military and the media. It is much worse than during the Vietnam war, because the military is now all volunteer, and has immediate access to what is being disseminated by the press here. I don't like the possible long term consequences.

The bit on the "surefire G2" flashlight was interesting. I was not familar with the item.
