Default RE: 6.8mm Remington combat caliber

Q?:
I hear alot of humming and drumming about how the .223 is not effective in combat.
How many of you have used it in combat?
Have any of you shot anyone or witnessed firsthand anyone being shot with a .223?
Have you ever seen a wound on a human caused by a .223?

Also what is wrong with a cartridge used in wartime that doesn't cause someone who is hit to be flipped up in the air and cause instantaneous death due to massive shock? I thought the idea of combat was not neccessarily to kill people but to stop them from fighting? Would not a serious wound from a .223 be sufficient?
