Friend won't shoot .223.....???

[L4D]

I have a buddy who's in the service and says he won't shoot .223 and only 5.56 because .223 is ***** civilian stuff.

I really had no response for such (imo) an asinine comment.
Can someone help me understand his sentiment on this?

He's just being a military elitist. He's stupid for trashing .223 and praising 5.56 because of pressure differences.

Oh man.. Your friend is hard core!

Ask him if he only eats MRE's as well....

Like cops, most people in the military aren't gun people.
Alot of guys go into the military having never used a weapon, and then assume that what the Army issued them is the best there is, which we all know is about as far from the truth as you can be!
These guys get out and only want to use what they had because "that's what i had in the Army, so its best" Oh well. No skin off my nose.

Your friend is not well. He is dillusional and needs help. I wonder if he's willing to shoot underpressured 7.62x51 instead of the more powerful civilian .308 cartridge?

Then I'd be impressed and defer to him as a mere civilian

Tell your friend that he will have to wear BDU's for the rest of his life until the day he dies because Levis and t-shirts are civilian stuff.

Also tell him that he's only allowed to drive around in Humvee's as well, because Ford and Chevy do not have military contracts.

Nah, I'm pretty sure this is blatant elitism.
