A RDS is an awesome advantage.
Learning to use iron sights first is not BS it is practical and I would argue necessary. Just like the fire direction guys need to know how to do their job with out their computers and we all need to know how to use and carry a compass in case the GPS shits the bed or the trees are too thick to get a clear signal.
I have several corded phones in my house because the cordless will not work when the power goes out. They are also cheaper, easy to use and more reliable.
I would hope the same Army issuing a million Aimpoints teaches soldiers to use their irons first. It sounds like the folks choosing to use irons only are making informed decisions. RDS, GPS, cell phones and computers are great but we did just fine with out them and some people choose not to use them.
