That sounds like Big Army is bringing back horse-drawn field artillery, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Well, not quite. The Army is reviving some of the weapons systems it discarded in favor of newer, more ‘glamorous’ stuff, upgrading the old with new materials and functions and training incoming troops to use MANPADS, which the newbies have never heard of.<\/p>\n

What went around is coming back around. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Just because it’s last year’s model, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.<\/p>\n
