This helps too I think:
A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others... a bored man creates a forum to learn about mistakes he didn't even know existed.

Army 7.62mm Rifle Program CANCELLED – ICSR is No More
Few specifics about the cancellation have been revealed, but TFB’s sources cited the lack of a pressing threat necessitating the change, poorly written requirements, little or no support from the ranks, and no backing holistic DOTMLPF assessment. If these reflections are accurate, then it indicate that ICSR may have been a poorly-constructed program driven by the preferences of the brass and not the needs of the actual soldier.

...and there was much rejoicing.
Sigh - I was waiting to see if it went off when you dropped it. The program sounded silly from the get go. There goes the Glock carbine in Creedmoor, Blackout, BigBoom, or whatever is the round of the moment on the Internet.
Is this finally the Ol' Yeller moment for the .308/7.62x51 for service use?
