Great to see.

Notice how all the soldiers “muzzle” the instructor as they are clearing and working on the weapon.

Yes, I noticed that the video talks repeatedly about how a “man” should use the weapon and how a “man” can get the most impact and benefit from it.

Just another display of the Army’s complete unawareness of all of the women combat soldiers who landed at D-Day, fought their way up to Berlin, etc etc.

Did any of you notice that the proper hold included the forefinger resting on the trigger and NOT sticking out of it, parallel to the barrel. It is interesting that the ‘safety’ idea of the latter placement of the finger didn’t come around until around sometime after I retired from the Army in 1993.
