Good news or bad news for US special operations forces?

Defense Review: FN SCAR (Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle) Weapons System Approved for Full-Rate Production (FRP)

If reports about the problems with the Mk16 are accurate, then what is the US Special Operations Command thinking? Another instance of the MIC at work? FN Herstal is a Belgian company, but production of the SCAR would be on US soil?

Would our soldiers be better off using M4s, as they continue to be modified through further innovations, until someone creates the next-generation US combat rifle?
