I am tired of ignorant statements like that. All weapons are needed and will always be needed, down from the infantry man with his rifle right on up to the President with his nuclear weapons. This thread is about filling a hole in the arsenal of the United States that not only should be filled but NEEDS to be filled in the future.

More so, I do not want this thread to turn into a pissing match, full of guys who want to prove how much they think they know than you. Granted I can be a know it all at times, but I have always thouroughly read and thought about every comment everyone has made, and I've agreed with many thoughts and ideas that have come around. But the world is full of folks that feel that the answer to military questions is newer and higher tech weapons. I, take it or leave it, am not one of them. When you want to drive a nail, dont do anything fancy, just hit it with a damn hammer. I know there are times that call for scalpels rather than swords and I understand that, but in the middle of the cold blue ocean or on a beach filled with people who want you dead, bring on the hammer.
