Honestly? The military would rather sacrifice a troop than teach them proper weapons handling and keeping weapons in a state of readiness.

I was an active duty MP for over 8 years and only remember once or twice that weapons were charged on duty outside the range.

Then I got out and went to the police academy where the Gunsite modern technique was taught. Talk about an eye opening experience.....

For once I actually had to quickly learn to think for myself and determine the state of readiness I wanted my weapon in.
