Typical “Big Army” stupidity.
Up there with painting big red “Crusader Crosses” on unarmed casevac helos in A-stan, just to keep the Army bureaucrats in the medical branch content with their own helicopter empire.
I look for the USMC to say, “Sorry, we’re not going to crush our PMAGs.” And the Rangers too, probably.
Yeah, I’ve been following the red cross thing via Michael Yon. I’m amazed that is still going on.
Long ago and far away the response to such foolishness was always the same:
“What are they going to do, send me to Viet Nam?”
An ornery lot and they were armed to the teeth.
