I think I might have said this in another thread, but I just get a laugh out of it all.
Back, way back, in the day,
Then, the US was fighting Muslim Insurgents in the Philippines. Our standard pistol back then was a .36 calibre revolver. Well, it didn't cut the mustard. So, after trial and tribulation, we went with the .45ACP.
Now, we are fighting Muslim Insurgents in various parts of the world. Our standard pistol now is a .36 calibre automatic and yet again, we are looking at replacing it. The leading contender? The .45ACP. Again.
Everyone keeps saying History never repeats itself, but I wish someone told history this so that it wouldn't!
