You've provided no factual basis for your claims. Ergo, they are all irrelevant and anything you say on the subject is wrong unless you prove it.

Well, apparently if you smoke enough weed, not only do you start to see in different colours, other people do too.

(it's because I'm an RPer who writes long-winded posts. And by long winded, I mean 'well, broke the word limit on posts again' sort of posts)

I'd say I'm a competent RPer, but my stories invariably scale down from entire armies to a single squad. I don't even know how or why, I just seem to prefer to focus on the individual than the full battle.
Apparently, it's quite common.

It actually means you have no argument with which to say "We told you twice", because you lost both wars, in the end defeated by the French and their English, Canadian, Australian, and Russian allies.

Americans have no fighting ability, being filthy traitors to the Crown.

I will.

I will take everything you say literally and to heart.

I will devote my life to hunting you down because of some inconsequential completely life-changingly insulting comment you made half-heartedly on the internet.

I will look you up on the Yellow Pages and prank call you like there's no tomorrow.
I will empty out your local shop's stock of your favourite food.
I will take that last spot on the train when you're desperate to get to work.

You have been warned.

It wasn't at you. I know Australians can fight.


I know, but I can understand why Europeans, who have fought harder and longer than you Americans ever have, get annoyed at the suggestion that they cannot fight. Look at how the Poles did against the Germans, or how well the Fins did against the Russians, or how well the French actually fought, rather than what the stereotype says happened. After all, the stereotype says that the Americans were the sole reason why WW2 was a win for the allies.




Anyway, back on topic, what do people think about the USMCs partial replacement of the M249 with the M27 IAR? Do LSW/IARs with 30 round magazines have any place on the modern battlefield?
