We are doing hand to hand training due to the insurgents attempts at taking hostages of our soldiers. We are using concrete barriers. We do wear 40 lbs of body armor. And we do use the Carl Gustof 84mm Recoilless Rifle.

n9:
Let me quote your statement from the previous Military thread.
"One of the things I noticed was that while I was issued an M9 in Afghanistan, generally outside the wire we carried rifles. The M9 was for having a weapon on base (FOP). We also had a unit policy of dropping our weapons to slings then going to steel (knives for the most part) if we were over ran. Under 10 ft we risked shooting each other. So knives were better. One of our guys carried a Tomahawk and used it against the Tabliban. Sliced one insurgent from chest to stomach. Scared the crap out of the rest of them. Outside the wire you want a rifle and knives."
You aren't discussing anything with us. You are uttering wannabee statements and expecting us to respect you.
Sorry but we won't bite. Go impress some ten year old who spends his days playing video games.
