And while I'm at it, and I'm certain that mr. 0352 wil concur, the TOW system is not a "safe" weapon to operate - sure it packs a punch, but the poor bastard who just fired it is attached to it, steering the missle via a long cable...

This doesn't seem to be a problem until you consider that as soon as it's fired, all the bad guys yell "Dude! There's a guy with a missle launcher!" (They know this, cuz you just popped a big ol puff of smoke when you fired it ? and they immediately fire back at you - but unlike the asshole with the AK who can duck out of the way, the Marine doing his job for his country has to sit there and take fire until his missle hits ? at which point he might have to shoot another.

For those of us around when the battlefield was expected to be Germany, and the enemy, the Red Army, having the 0352 brand meant a combat life expectancy of around 15 seconds.

Some of you fucking kids need a better appreciation of the sacrifices that others make for you.
