Major John Bucciarelli (US Army, Retired), also known as Blacksheep6, is the special guest writer at Airsoft Scoop and he writes the state of Milsim...

My last article was on the difference between Airsoft and MILSIM.  I guess in simple terms Airsoft is a hobby and MILSIM is a sport.  There is room for both.  In this article I want to share my vision for the sport of MILSIM.

General George S. Patton once said, 'Lead, follow or get out of the way.' This statement has become a basic foundation of leadership doctrine.  I am a leader – been that way for a long time.  United States Army training honed those skills.  As an Infantry officer those skills were tested by fire.  So as I share my thoughts and visions for this sport keep the words of General Patton in mind.
