Night vision is a cornerstone of US military superiority to such a degree that the motto is “ we own the night”
Just having night vision equipment of any kind in combat is game changing godsend for those that for those that have none
Having night vision integrated into a combat optical sighting system is the best of all possible worlds but even if used only as off weapon night vision this soldier should grateful as heck we gave it to him for free.
On another note, kind of amazing to see Steve Colbert is exporting American style entitlement attitudes and limitless ingratitude for the bountiful gifts America bestows
American provided freebies are never enough and never good enough to the people who get them for free.
duct tape would fix his prolems

The rebels in Ukraine has it too, some bought from these jerks for a case of vodka. And they have it mounted on their rifles of course.
“Colbert” is a dog whistle for the anti-American, freedom haters.
"Ukraine is a laboratory of techniques and procedures," George Kent, deputy assistant in the European Bureau at the US Dept of State, told the Military Times, "The Russian military runs a sniper training school there. Instead of doing it on a range in Russia, they just do it on the front lines of Ukraine. Much of the equipment they are developing that shows up elsewhere, including in Syria,they try out first in Ukraine."
Perhaps the 0bama administration having a hand in destabilizing their country and fomenting revolution has engendered the plantation mindset ?
The puke should try watching some John Wayne flicks and avoid Colbert.
The aid was delayed for what, a couple months at most. The article was written recently and makes it sound like they still haven’t gotten it....a lie. They claim that countless people died because of the delay...I find that hard to believe. Why doesn’t the author ask what the Ukrainians feel about Obama who provided ZERO military aid.
If Congress wants us in Ukraine, let them declare war.
If any citizen wants us in Ukraine, let him lobby congress.
If any citizen want us in Ukraine, but without a declaration of war let him take his stupid ass there and die. He is too stupid to appreciate the checks and balances built in to our Republic and he desires war too much. He will not be missed.
He could cry to the Kurds who never got the arms they needed and asked for from obozo....What THEY got were promises.
No, Russian soldiers "on vacation" are driving Russia's newest tanks T72B3 across the border into Ukraine without Putin's knowledge.
Well Stas how do you like President Trump now? He supplied Ukraine with military equipment, something Obama never did.
Night vision is not a new technology. It is around en-masse for decades.
I imagine some duct tape and bailing wire would do the trick as well?
You might have a problem-solving approach or be a whinny ingrate. That two ways of thinking never combines in one.
