New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

Yeah, but that only works if the FO can actually get someone to pull the trigger on the mortars and artillery!

From all too many circumstances in Iraq and 'stan, that gets into override by "plug and play" REMF's who make decisions based on ROE's that don't reflect what is happening RIGHT NOW on the battlefield.

I agree, which is why I said theoretically. I read that Dakota Meyer story when he was being considered for the MoH. I still can't read back through the details of that day without getting livid to the point that finding a punching bag is a necessity.

The problem here is the more advanced technology becomes, the closer to the battlefield the politicians can get without every getting their $10,000 shoes dirty. Politicians have got to be removed from the war zone!
