yes nonsence man..

you give your soldiers 1960 Rifle with 6 bullets and you say they are well equipped

no wahala.. your judgement is soon!

Could someone ask him if he would elect to face an armoured tank with his rifle and nothing else? I know he would tactically withdraw, which in simple English means RUN.

This is what a new age infantry soldier looks like...Modern warfare is not just about a rifle
....yet they still want better kit as well. This general is living in the 60's.
