Ok, be sensible in what you say here please. I dunno how far or
how much we can discuss here.
Anyway, in the course of your SAF service, you would more likely
than not have been taught something that clearly and obviously does
not work. Let's mock some of the instructors or doctrines here (no
names of course- that would be too...mean)
Now...when i was in BMT, many ppl were making remarks like "stoopid
fire movement...confirm die one lor if do like that..." Well, after
having had one game of airsoft, I feel that i am well informed
enough to say...say movement works!
Now try and picture a group of people w/o any concept of proper
fire movement and team work...now picture them trying to attack an
enemy position.
What will happen is that everyone will do...nothing. they will move
into range, go behind cover and shoot from behind cover. no one
dares to move forward, no one knows what to do. Sooner or later,
the enemy from the safety of their entrenched position will realize
that and one or two of them will flank you and kill you, etc. So
w/o fire movement, your attack has no momentum. You will almost
never succeed in your attack.
So fire movement is imo not bull shi t. It works. One point though
- i was told in BMT that when you are near enough you charge at the
enemy firing at full auto from the HIPS! That made no sense to me
and I still think it is bull shi t.
Thoughts?
