I'm sure the fact that they were spending the same amount of money (dollars vs dollars) on their military as the US, however that equaled 25% of their GDP while it was only 5% of the US's, would have been sustainable had it not been for all those injuries in Afghanistan from all that 5.56 the Mujahadeen were using against them caused...... wait......

A Turkish import too!
I've heard that one of the nicknames the M16 received by US troops was "the meat axe" due to its ballistic effectiveness. It was supposedly compared to a shotgun blat at close range.
When you get a 55gr FMJ bullet fast enough to fragment it does crazy things to flesh. If you can find it, there were videos available online of Kyle Rittenhouse shooting those 3 guys from the riot in Kenosha Wisconson. The one guy who didn't die was shot in the bicep, and in some of the videos you can see a literal pink mist in the air where part of his bicep was literally vaporized.
5.56 NATO has a bad rap now because of 14.5" barrels and M855 slowing down the velocity of the round significantly. Give it the velocity it needs and 5.56 NATO is a top-tier performer.
Killing an enemy removes one from the battlefield. Wounding removes three as usually two for a litter. I prefer option one as he won't be back. JMO

and I vividly remember in our advanced training being taught shoot to wound. The Ivan’s had legs on them so we could shoot them in the knees. We went through a lot together in Afghanistan. There’s a lot of 1 legged terrorists running around thanks to our efforts.

I remember being so angry about the ineffectiveness of our equipment until a three star general explained we were actually playing 3D chess with the enemy.
