"No Marines in the European Theater. Check your facts."
You check your facts. Marines were a small by very integral part of the European theater. http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/USMCETO.html I can't find the citation right now, but if I recall correctly there were also some Marines who served as beach masters. By 1944 the Marines were THE experts on amphibious operations in the US military.

I wonder how many of them would take the plastic AR you would try to hand them, as they walked in to Bastogne, and would leave their big 30'06 that is tried and true, made of wood and steel.

Maybe you should ask this guy...I love my carbine, but in a full out battle, I would much prefer an M16...

I wouldn't want a rifle, where you had to shoot the enemy 3 times to put him down, I'd prefer the Garand in .30 cal .

If I were at Bastogne I'd want smartwool socks, underarmor, really good gloves, waterproof outer layer, a blanket, and hot chocolate or soup.
