I agree that this is crucial, but if we don't make the best I don't want it for the troops. I remember going to Nam with an M-16 that if you put more then 18 rounds in the magazine you were almost sure to get a jam; besides the many other reasons why the damned thing jammed.

Within a week I had traded my M-16 to an ARVN for his M-14. And I wouldn't have cared if that M-14 had been made in Hanoi by Jane Fonda.

Well, I certainly agree our soldiers need only the best. The solution, then is to find the best and make it here.

That's a neat trick, considering that we never provided the ARVNs with M-14s. They had M-1s until about 70, and after that, M-16s.

d.o.l.
