error still present... i actually took the time to look into it, and whats wrong here is the content-disposition: it's inline for lower case jpg and its attachment for upper case JPG. should be a 2 line fix in apache config.

i can tell you that, mathematically, there is no "better", since both bulletins affect multiple things.

obviously, the vet gain does not directly influence the damage output of the squad, it only amplifies the vet gained (or lowers the vet requirements, dont know exactly) from the damage. likely, it will also amplify the vet gained from taking dmg, whereas the accuracy/reload bulletin will not influence that at all.

as you noted, vet gain is only useful if there is vet to gain. this, and the fact that amplified combat stats (like the ones gained from vet) are pretty strong, even if just small ones, and since i'm fairly sure that the bonuses stack, i'd go with the accuracy/reload one. it could potentially tip early (unvetted) fights in your favor.

while i agree that having an ability like oorah, that certainly resembles fire up/heroic charge a bit (although it is not as strong due to the unaffected received suppression/suppression threshold/suppression values) on a non-doctrinal T0 unit without any sort of teching is not exactly what i would have liked to see in coh2, there are several factors that at least kind of even it out a bit:
a) suppressed units can't oorah, and oorah does not make the unit suppression immune. so if you can catch conscripts with an MG, your opponent either just wasted 10 ammo, or he can't oorah out of the suppression.
b) at least in the last patch, flanking an MG was pretty much worthless, so using oorah for the movement speed was pretty much solely used for getting in/out of cover faster, or to chase vehicles and at nade them.
c) while 10 ammo is not a whole lot, spamming it WILL cut into your ammo quite a bit. spamming oorah = no flamers, no mines, no molotovs, no at nades, no other abilities (doctrinal or not).

tl;dr: spamming oorah is a tradeoff and means no ammo for other things. with flanks being not as important/strong as in vcoh, oorah is not as strong as it looks on paper.
