Not me, but my active duty son. That’s him carrying the right front corner of the casket at Arlington National Cemetery. I hope it’s okay that I posted his pics here.

Looks like 1 "BADASS " RIFLE he's holding, sure better than our M1's we had to use aboard ship. ftd

He is the units SAW gunner. He would rather carry an M4, but he wasn’t given the choice. What he is holding sure doesn’t have the punch that 30-06 round from the M-1 had.

From what I've been told the new military choice of pistol carry, a Beretta is no match for the old 45 1911's, I carried a 1911 aboard ship on Security watch. ftd

I have heard the same thing. 9mm vs 45 both with ball ammo, isn’t much of comparison if you ask me.
