I would much rather have an additional 3 inches of barrel that will give me more reliability and better ballistics. Not to mention most all suppressor manufacturers will not warranty their cans on 7.5" barrels.
A person would have to be out of their head to run a 7.5" AR15 in a combat zone. Doubly so for a DPMS product.
I'm a few years from considering post military career paths (though I did have a good convo with Dyncorp recently) but if I were going overseas as a contractor I can't imagine going any shorter than a 10.3" barrel. More likely, I would want a Colt Commando for the extra reliability of the 11" barrel.
