About MARSOC approving Glocks.


By now everyone has heard about MARSOC approving Glocks for use by their Marines.

I don't have a problem with that.  I DO HOWEVER find it interesting that just a few short years ago there was big news about how MARSOC was all wrapped up in buy .45's for its Marines and how everyone was so happy about them sticking with a "real" gun.

I would really be impressed if the Marine Corps stepped away from trends and started doing the "Marine Thing" again.  Think about it.  The new combat fitness test is nothing but modified crossfit.    There was nothing wrong with "old skool" PT but because you had a zealot in the ranks that was into crossfit a change was made.  Now we're seeing it again in the weapons selection.

This yo-yoing needs to stop.  Change for change sake is nothing but manufactured chaos.
