Good find, they should make all recruits watch something like this so they know how their rifle works.

I remember trying to stay awake and watch that back in 68, setting in a Quonset hut

That soldier should learn trigger finger discipline. When they're showing you how to load and fire his finger stays on the trigger. Great video BTW!

Strange, in actual combat the selector is always on burst or Auto(depending on wheter you a M4 or a M16A2/3), and the trigger finger never leaves the trigger until you run out of loaded mags.
Survival always seems to overide safety when the SHTF!!!

I liked those starched and creased
'fatigues'. What are referred to today
as BDUs.
