Time to blow out the birthday candles - all 240 of them. It's the Army's birthday! But wait! Before you do, you must make a wish. What do you wish for the Army on its 240th birthday?

I wish for a separation of politics and the US Army. Just have politicians leave the can of whoop @$$ alone on the shelf until its needed.

That it would go back to the M577 and TOC extension instead of these POS DRASH tents that are a pain in the butt and require a whole battalion to erect.

I'd like to see a better trained and equipped army. I'd like to see a replacement for the M551 Sheriden to give Cav/LI/Airborne units better fire power. I'd like the Army to stop wasting money by changing uniforms all the time. I'd like to see someone to STOP THE BS OF HAVING TO WEAR A REFLECTOR ALL THE TIME !!

Fast armored cars for convoy duty & recon; vehicles for airborne; assault guns; new Combat Engineer assault & breach vehicles; the HK-416 style gas-piston design for all assault rifles; A-10s for a revived Army Air Corps. Oh... and lasers. Gotta have the frickin' lasers, man.
