Throwing the bullshit flag on this one!
You* have about 7.7 pounds in your 7 mag combat load, not counting pouches, etc.
Joe Boomer has 5.3 pounds in his eighty round bandoleer. He only needs 80 rounds because his cartridge goes through people, ensuring more bang per bullet.
Add the 5.3 pounds to the weight of the M1 Garand and you have a total of 14.8 pounds.
Add the 7.7 pounds to the weight of the M4 and you have 14.3 pounds sans optic.
So, since it is well known that Boomers spend their mornings and early afternoons power-walking around the mall it looks like your point would be moot without a rational discussion of weight.
Plus, there is talk about taking back the infantryman's half-klick, screw that, the Boomer operates at a full klick.
* Notice how I left out (You) and whatever godforsaken sniveling generation you represent. That is because I am trying to become more of a friend to all.
