This makes me think maybe it doesn't matter much that the XM25 has been sent to units in Afghanistan.

That being said, we don't really need a new infantry rifle right now. We don't necessarily need the XM25, either, but it at least has potential to be useful...again, assuming it does what it's supposed to do.
