In the grand scheme of things it just doesn't matter. Our ability to win wars is not determined by 5.56 vs 6.5G and making the switch takes money. Personally, if I were re-working US Army Infantry methods I'd push more decision-making down to Battalion level and throw a couple extra weapons into the mix. It doesn't cost that much to buy each platoon a couple specialty weapons and carry a different round.
