General Westmorland got complaints about M16s from most every unit except one company, did a surprise inspection just before they were going out, brought a couple reporters with him to show that M16s were working for people who followed instructions as this company must have done after their initial complaints. Company inspection revealed all M16s in barracks cleaned and ready for dress inspection- the guns going to field were a few M14s supposed to have been turned in to depot, about 1/2 the troops had AK47s, the rest had some RPDs and SKS45s. Company commander was a Gaurd/reservist who had told colonel what he was going to do to keep his troops alive and didn"t care about career threats.
