i am active duty army. i dont care for the sarcasim that i am feeling on this topic.
if you have a problem with what our Soldiers and Marines are being taught, talk to your congressman. itsthe liberal yahoos in washington that are taking away bit by bit the financing to have me and my peers trained in what you think is important.

since i'm not in a line unit, basic rifle marksmanship (brm) is not a priorty. its only required that I qualify with a M16 once per year. and most of the time when its time for qualification the units dont have the funding to go. My fellow Soldiers and Marines that are risking thier life on the front line have priorty over me.

So take it up with h. clinton, kerry and kennedy and ask for more funding to train YOUR nations fighting force on ballistics and shooting.
