Well you did it now.

Criticize the 507th for anything and the defend Lynch to the death crew shows up. Sheesh, it's obvious to anyone with a lick of real military experience that the reason the weapons jammed was failure to properly maintain. 3ID and the Marines had functioning weapons, I saw it live on Fox News.

People need to accept the facts of life, as your daddy said Chad (somewhat), a clean weapon will save your life, a dirty weapon will get you killed.

Not true. Criticize the 507th for whatever you feel they deserve criticism for. No argument from me about the reason the weapons jammed, that had been settled I thought, long ago. My argument is against pointing at Lynch as the focus of the 507ths problems.
