Rather than the fantasy of what any of us think should have been done (because we are smarter than everybody else), the US Govt pulled 2 aces out of the deck when they came up with the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine. They and their ammo served us well (IMO brilliantly). There is a giant gap in what is said and in what was actually accomplished. Yes, they could have been better. Yes, they should have been better. Of course the challenge is to get 2 people to agree on what "better" is. But they served our country in times of great need and they served brilliantly. Just my opinion.
