Our military adopting the Grendel?

[JASmith]

Regarding training, my son was stationed in Korea before his first trip to the sandbox. During that time he was obliged to train his unit on the .50 BMG M-2. Do you know how much experience this magnificent trainer had on the weapon before meeting his troops?

Depends on how you define "experience." You guessed it, his long and in-depth experience consisted of reading the manual in the few evenings between getting the assignment and doing the training.

So, yes, I can see where one needs to think about the skill levels and attitudes of the user when developing advocacy arguments for change, or for maintaining the status quo...
