however, the .223/5.56 round is FAR inferior for use in the battlespace. More & more reports from the field are indicating HT's taking direct hits from the M-16/M-4 platform and simply keep coming.

BS.
No doubt, .223 is not the most potent round in the world. However, few people can take a COM hit with a .223 (or even a .22LR) and keep coming.
Shot placement.
Anyone who can take a .223 can probably take a 6.8 or a .308 just as well...
It is rare, but it has happened. Same goes for higher powered .30cal rounds. People have survived multiple rounds from 7.62x39, 8mm, 30-06, etc... How do you explain that? Does it mean that those rounds are weak? Was the shot placement off?
Maybe the military should invest in ray guns.
