You left out the part about your rifles not being standard issue weapons. Basically, a lie.

So are you going to tell us how me saying I was talking about my 10.3 inch upper was me leaving out the fact that a 10.3 inch upper is not a standard M4.

Does it even bother you getting caught in lies like this all the time.

I'm not the one that used deception to try to prove a point.

How come you live on a naval base? You're in the Army.

Because I am stationed in Okinawa and there is no Army housing there. Up until a short while ago I was living on a Marine base but they were remodeling our house so they moved us. Does it make a difference.

There is zero doubt that for someone who supposedly served he doesn't know much about the military. Apparently he has to be told that the standard M4 doesn't have a 10 inch barrel

What? What does that even mean "organic and inorganic?"

Grenadiers...selective recruiting...highly trained...equipped with special weapons (grenades)...and special tasks (storming walls and so on). Grenadiers were CERTAINly Force multipliers as you could use 100 of them in place of 200 regular infantry when trying to take a fort.

Dragoons were rapidly deployed. They were good as cavalry, reconnaissance, and so on. They were so mobile that you could use them multiple times and hit an enemy on multiple fronts with the same "unit" (can't remember the terms) in the same battle.

The fact that you don't define these 2 unique unite as force multipliers is BIZARRE as that is EXACTLY what they are.

Organic to a unit means they are part of the unit and not attached from another unit.

I don't have any idea what "inorganic to the unit engaged" means. One engages the enemy. Not his fellow troops.

And skirmishers "organic to the operational unit level of the period"? They were organic in that they were in the same army. Not normally as part of a line unit.

I remember Marines on NAS Alameda were billeted in Hamilton Air Force Base housing in Novato.

Okinawa has always been hell for housing.

It's pretty crappy for pretty much everyone but the Air Force. It's rather a crap shoot to how far your work your house will be

Yea that was weird. At any rate, the units listed were the early days of special forces. You didn't really operate behind enemy lines often. But dragoons would. There really wasn't a place for special forces until modern warfare.

Of course you don't know what it means. You have no clue what a combat multiploer is.

Skirmishers were typically a designated company, companies, or regiment. There were very few units whose soul purpose in life was to act as a skirmishers. Skirmishing is a sub-task of the larger mission.

Those units weren't, "special forces". Dragoons performed the typical cavalry mission; a mission that remains unchanged.

Lets take one at a time.

40 rounds per year. Your claim. You were ignorant of Marine qualifications.

I kept asking you where you got your claim of 40 rounds per year. You refused to answer.

I have yet to see you correct your BS claim.

You may do so now.

You haven't posted a single link to prove me wrong. Why is that? Because no such information exists?
