"but rather at those that once again insist on re-inventing a perfectly round wheel (I hear we've discovered that the .45 is the appropriate caliber for a service pistol - again). "
NDD, I liked that line!
My dad taught combativesin the AF........as a teenager he used to toss my butt around on the mat.......said he needed practice. I think he was teaching me..... and I learned combatives when I entered the Army............in 24 years of service, I never used it or talked to another soldier who used it...... so I ask the question....... how often do we now close with an enemy soldier and go at it hand to hand? How often do we fix bayonets?????? Who is pushing something new and how much is it needed?
