  1. MJ I spent 10 yrs on active duty (Mechanized Infantry, not too much different from Armored Cav these days)and I can tell you that even if you are deployed on a UN backed mission you will be totally under local US control (from at least Division level on down) and that it is very unlikely that you will even actually talk a UN rep. much less take orders from one. The US military insists on C&C of it's own forces and being the big boy on the block probably will control the whole operation anyway.

  3. It's my belief that the M60 got it's bad reputation from modern GI's who were issued 20yr old weapons,(not an unusuall situation),add to that the fact that the M60 doesn't fire blanks very well(most soldiers fire far more blanks than live rounds in a typical enlistment)and you have the recipe for a bad rep. Personally I thought it was a great weapon.

    Stoffel;the M16 was designed by Colt.
