Interesting what he said about failures being subject to what era they occurred in. I think he is correct in that today we have YouTube, cellphones, other media to record failures in any weapon. And in agreement I'll allow that "tighter" acceptable standards are a good thing as technology progresses, and should be expected. That said, his analogy of some WWII/Korea grunt quickly clearing a failure-to-whatever and continuing on with the mission is spot on. We are much more persnickety and detail oriented these days (not a bad thing).

Hell, it's not like the Carbine was a Chauchat!
