Yes you are right Zap, the USMC typically gets older gear, but that doesn't mean the Army is better prepared for battle. Some people say the M4 is better than M16, and since more Army uses the M4 than USMC, they say Army is better. But I think I would rather have the rifle capable of longer distances out there in the desert. Anyway Marines do get new stuff too, but I do think they use some Vietnam stuff as well.

P.S. I know my grammar was terrible in this post.
