Interesting report and video footage of Kilo Company of the 3/6 Marines:
http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2010/05/25/kilo-company-squads-engage-insurgents-after-ambush/. Coincidentally, the old man was part of the 3/6 during his time in the Pacific War. He would be real proud of the guys in the Corps now, but not sure he'd want to trade his Garand for an M-4 (have you seen the recent reports on what a pop gun it's turned out to be?). They need an infusion of some moth balled M-14s, STAT.

Saw another report that they're beginning to supply Marines with an upgraded version of the ammo for the M4. Essentially, it's a round that was developed for hunting rifles where sticking a dick in the dirt is a priority.
