Farmer17, CelticSire and Roundgunner make the most sense to me. I never read anyone complaining about the .308, either. I heard it in person from a Marine LDO who had occasion to shoot someone with his M14 in Vietnam. He was rather unimpressed.

After all, the military stuff is almost always FMJ. At least the old 55gr bullets might tumble or do other weird things. I guess the .308 has its advantages, too, but I don't see the evidence that it is a guaranteed manstopper without a hit in the right organ.

I still like my FN LAR, but I don't badmouth folks who prefer the Mattel toys.
