I heard MS pushes like the Russian army....the only thing that keeps you marching towards your enemies rifle is your commanders rifle pointed at your back!
So, funny story. Long ago we (US Army, some unit, somewhere... look, over 22 years and four continents, I don't always remember specifics) were told that the reason commanders were issued sidearms, was for the purpose of offing anyone who went all Bergdahl. Different times, of course, but that tradition of officers and certain staff NCOs, at least in POG units, being issued M9s instead of M4s? Still a thing to this day.
Back on topic...
I heard that the dropship-purchase thing DID happen, as originally envisioned, but that all the dropships were gobbled-up by MS on day one. Hence their ability to mass-club seals!
Clubby ain't got s**t to say about a dropship!
