This thinking led us to fight two World Wars with target rifles
instead of battle rifles and to use squads of riflemen supported by
machine guns instead of the more useful unit of machine guns supported
by riflemen.

Hmmm.. With the "target rifles" we won the two world wars we fought
with them. Then we fought the Korean "police action" with the same
target rifles. Then we switched to the toys and haven't won a war
since :-)
