I was just asking for clarification.  I'm always open to discussion too.  In my experience when a person makes a statement like if you want [a gun, or some kind of gun], join the army, it's usually an anti-gun bigot saying that only those who work for government should be allowed to bear arms.  But I'm happy to give a person the benefit of the doubt and assume him to be a loyal American.  The question did warrant a request for clarification though.

Yea their army seems to be a little different then ours, especially since they're a neutral nation. Besides that, I have never met a person in the military who takes home any small arms these days.
 I just thought it was an interesting read. Here is a nation that gives its citizens the responsibility of automatic firearms in order to defend the nation. The crazy part is they are allowed howitzers to defend the nation. i understand they're are the military, it's just an entirely different way of thinking about national security than we have.

Not necessarily. It will depend on your MOS. I doubt that people who work in support positions spend much time shooting.
