4 years! Oh geesh! My boots have more field time than you have time in service. LOL

Good for you. My point still stands that the people who run the military are on my side with this one, and 4 years service is a lot more than reading something thru google.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about.

Then why are some military people trying to kill the whole FCS program? Isn't this the same military that was trying to swap out M-1s for strykers with a big turret?

And why are we the only military trying to replace our artillery with smaller, less capable units? Look at Germany, France, UK, Russia, etc etc. They are all going to larger caliber barrels and more capable units. What do we know that they don't?

The ONLY reason that the NLOS system is so small is because they want it to be C-130 transportable. THAT IS IT! It has nothing to do with capability, and everything to do with size. If they could give it a 59 caliber 155, they would do it, but it's just too damn small. Limiting our forces to crap that will fit on a C-130 means our guys are going to get nailed if we don't have 100% air superiority at all times.
