The chrome-plated SKS was probably for parade use, but that gold-plated rifle would make a nice companion to a gold-plated AK. I wonder how many were confiscated from the grunts, only to appear in some REMF's trophy case?
this looks like a photo of joint headquarters staff weenies... REMFs in spades... the Marine in the center with a foldin' stock AKM is a giveaway...
as far as gettin' confiscated from the grunts, I imagine that few items actually obtained by the guys doin' the fightin' remained their custody... bastige REMFS...
