A high school buddy of mine who served in Vietnam about the same time as I did told me that "the M16 is better suited for combat in Vietnam because the M14 is too heavy".

I said "is that right? Why didn't you tell me? I could have sent a nice, strong Marine to hold the rifle up for you".

He hasn't spoken to me for a while...

As if RVN wasn’t weapons central for the while. ‘Think I sampled just about everything but a 106.

Thanks for your service.
