"That's more ammunition than the regular soldier carries in combat,"

BS, I carried a lot more than that when I was in Somalia and Desert Storm. Geesh?, Where do these people come up with this stuff?

Thanks for your service, Marine. We appreciate it, even if some of those pols don't. Your tagline says it all.

LOL...I was thinking exactly the same thing, but you beat me too it....it's obvious officer sullivan never spent a day in the military. (I'll have gravy on my crow if anyone can prove otherwise.)

I was gonna say, less than three boxes of ammunition? Sounds like what a soldier would use in about 10 minutes in the Battle of Mogadishu.

I've always wondered how much ammo a soldier goes through, and how much it takes to keep say, a platoon resupplied in a combat zone.

Thank you and God bless you.

The same place they get 30 round AK-47 "clips."
