I get that, I really do, but most of those guys were just normal soldiers doing what they were told to do. IMO, no different than the US draft during the Vietnam war.

An interesting variant . It's like the Turkish helmets of WW1, the visor being removed from the M16's, M17''s and M18's. Is there any science to removing the visor?

Cheers.
