beggars can’t be choosers but 7.62x51 ammo probably isn’t something easily scrounged in that part of the world.
They took part in the genocides of Christians during the early 20th century.
G3 Rifles? I can’t seem to find info on exactly what type of rifles they sent. I would think it would make more sense to sen some of the old East German AK-47s they have in storage.
Good news indeed!
Well, it’ll help. But that’s not a lot of arms to repel Isis pigs.
You'd be amazed at what might surface and where. A few years back, I bought some Portuguese 7.62x51 battle packs (sealed vinyl pouches) at a gun show in southern Louisiana. How it ever got from there to here, I have no idea. It is 30+ years old. I opened some of them and shot a few hundred rounds just to see how reliable they were...each and every one went, "bang" when it was supposed to.
I wish the American, British, Canadian, and German governments protected their citizens’ God-given right to keep and bear arms as enthusiastically as they protect that right for the Kurds.
Which makes Germany a viable target to Muslim terrorists, for arming the Kurds.
Thank you, Frau Merkel. I only wish we would do the same.
How do you say “Contra” in their language?
A few dozen 88s thrown in wouldn’t hurt.
Yup. Soldier of Fortune had articles back in the 2000’s detailing the Kurds “leave me the F alone” mentality. Heck, even children were being named Cheney’ for Dick Cheney as the Kurds knew him as one of the “protectors” of the region.
He is turning into an embarrassment for even the Rats.
I hope that bastard is impeached and thrown in prison with those other bastsrds Lois Lerner and Eric Holder
Germans do what they say they will do—Their guns will work too. No MRE or blankets—weapons! The Kurds will put them to good use. When the war is over—Kurdistan will make a great a great client for Germany.
What they really need is Tow Missles. A two man weapon costing 180 thousand dollars will effectively and with a high kill rate take out a 3 million dollar tank.
Two men with little training can take out that tank and their highly trained crew.
Warfare is not only winning on the battlefield but the economics of funding the war machine.
I was only pointing out the reporters challenged math.
16,000 rifles are obviously for more than 4,000 fighters.
Today they are providing safe haven for Christians and other groups fleeing from the pedo head choppers.
Really? It’s my impression that just breathing makes you their enemy.
