though granted i still say there should be a position for a "terminal E-4" in every branch acquisition office to provide common sense to the minds behind every dumb idea they push on us. after all a soldier who know's he's never getting promoted has no problem telling a staff officer that there is a reason why every unit that can scam an excuse to is deploying with M1911's rather than the MK23 or M9.
he might also want to provide some "wall to wall counseling" to the guy that thought a 30lbs, flammable, IBA that provides no circulation was a good idea when faced with IED's in a dessert.
