Carlos Hathcock would be spinning in his grave if he was seeing that!

White Feather wouldn't give a fuck. His Military uses sensible gear. Ours on the other hand.
It is all just personal opinion but pretty much shared from what I remember by most of my era of grunts. FNG's and pogues, especially pogues wouldn't know any different as they have not used or trained with anything else. Limiting their knowledge and experience.

The role of the infantry is to seek out and close with the enemy, to kill or capture him, to seize and to hold ground and to repel attack, by night and day, regardless of season, weather or terrain.

The role will never change. They just need sensible gear to achieve it.
