Tactical Life posts that the military is changing to the 6.8 in SAW and M4

So much for intermediate cartridge and being able to carry more ammo. With shoulder fired rocket propelled grenades, 40 MM grenades and mortars I see this concept as a big step backwards if considered for general issue. Can you imagine trying to carry six extra loaded 20 round mags. This is the opposite of OICW but just as bad IMHO.
