Don’t forget the ammo
A rhetorical statement of course! Hell, I've had friends in active duty assigned to foreign hotspots WITH NO AMMO! They were merely a "Show of Force"... IF it hit the fan, only Majors and above could authorize the issuance of live ammo!
After all, we couldn't have some Yahoo actually try to protect himself and cause an international media event..., right!
Hopefully it is the air guard and they have A10s and apaches
