Didn't you know? The military abandoned defensive tactics and strategy somewhere between WWII and Dessert Storm. It's all shock and awe now, baby.

It's more than simple 'semantics' when they attempt to proffer a new, 'official' definition of "assault rifle" for the general public; i.e., teachers and students included.

Never mind that an official definition has existed for something like 70 years.

Remember this thread from March...?
