    You know KILO's. First you have to wake them up, then they want chow. Then they will stop at the PX for some Mt. Dew, then rummage through the MRE's to Rat Fuck a whole box to get the good ones and leave the Veggie Omletes......wait, that sounds like 19 Delta Scouts too!!!!

    You'd be surprised how little damage a HEAT round does. There was a good article in armor magazine about how API .50 cal will keep going through several walls before stopping, while a HEAT or MPAT will explode on impact.

    I don't buy it the collateral damage shit, if they are close enough to make an "ID" they can tell if they are near civvies. Sounds like they are just as guilty. If that's the roe now the. We really need to get the fuck out of that place.
    Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I've been saying for years a 242 would be a dream gun there. Don't argue with a 25.

    Not in the Afghanistan rocky terrain. Anyone hiding in the rocks along a mountainside should be lit up like the 4th of July with a round! Just think of the psychological impact it would have to the Taliban if they knew that if they were hiding out/scouting a route from a hillside that your ass would be targeted with a SABOT or HEAT round...!

    Those tankers don't get off their tanks for anything! I was in the NTC and watched as their 1SG drove up to each tank, handed each crewman a plate of hot A's and went on to the next tank. I've even seen them sh*t off their tank and never unass!
