Did anybody see the Ken Burns Vietnam War documentary on PBS?
 I was very surprised to learn those 18- year old kids were sent into the jungles to fight, not with the very best post-modern weapons technology could produce and money could buy but with M-16 rifles that often jammed.
  Unfortunately the Vegas shooter's gun did not jam.
  Just sayin. To paraphrase Shakespeare's play, "Hamlet,"Something is rotten in the state of the United States."
