I've held the SCAR, it's nice, and if I win the lottery I'd get one. But like Oldgrognard said, the M1A has a soul. There's something special about it.

All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the corps!
