The info in the remainder of that post in known to be wrong (except to military instructors of all branches, of course). Known-bad source material.
If it's bad info then why is it continued to be practiced? Better let uncle sam know their screwing chit up. It's provided to the OP as a data point so he can form his own opinions.
So, between that and the fact that you don't hold to that incorrect information...unless you go the opposite way and leave your shit totally dry (you don't specify, but if you do, you NEED helmets thrown at your head),
You may not like it, and you may not agree with it, but its a valid data point non-the less.
In fact I know of several Army NG Regional Weapons Trainers (Train the trainer) instructions that do in fact run the 'their' shit dry. Go figure... I never asked him why he runs the weapon that why, but since him and his unit has been to Iraq a few times I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Again not something I practice, but he must do so based on personal experience to some good reason.
in what way were you trying to be helpful by advocating something you yourself won't do? Especially since using way more than "sparingly, in select locations" is known to be of no negative impact?
Don't answer that.
Well, unlike some folks on the board, I never preach my personal preference to folks, but simply provide true data points they can ponder and determine what works best for them. But... I can see you like the direct approach. Preach on brother!!!
My mind might not be able to take the un-logic of whatever led to you putting fingers to keyboard, pushing bad info that you yourself don't even believe, and be subsequently rent asunder by the chaos of that thought.
Think, people. I know it hurts the first time.....
Interesting... Your opinions are gospel and we should all crowd around them. Again, you may not agree with the CADRE's instruction, but it is what it is.
Again, I provided factual information that is currently utilize and simple choose to let the individuals determine what works best for them.
