"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Yep. My Brother slogged a .308 Garand in a Southern military high school
back in the late 60s. Neat variation, but if you want a .308 get a M1A or a
AR15 variant. The Garand chambered the awesome 30-06, primary dispatcher of
most WWII nemesis(-es?), is more than enough.

However..the 3006 is hardly the normal military loading these
days..and having a couple cases "fall off the back of a truck" is not
going to happen.

Now 308..thats still a normal load..and it could indeed fall off a
truck easily enough.
