I think they ought to equip our troops with Israeli manufactured ammo DIPPED IN PIG FAT.
That suggestion regarding pig fat is a way to cement good relations with Muslims. Lighten up and think a little.
Why are you posting a story that's nearly two years old?
"There's a sensitivity that I think all of us recognize,"
Yeah. Human bodies are very "sensitive" to bullets - no matter where they were made.
"I think they ought to equip our troops with Israeli manufactured ammo DIPPED IN PIG FAT."
Works for me.
It's funny that just as it was with Vietnam, we're kicking the shiite out of them militarily, but we're actually losing the war in terms of public opinion. Amazing.
Since the Army has other stockpiled ammunition, "by no means, under any circumstances should a round (from Israel) be utilized,"
Stamp a Star of David on every bullet used to take out a Muslim fanatic.
Abercrombie, a real whacko BTW, should know that the Middle East conspiracy theorist will ASSUME that we are using Israeli ammo whether or not we actually do. We get no credit for restraint.
Once the 'training ammo' gets distributed, nobody is going to look closely when they are loading their magazines. Just plain stupid.
Leave it to a Dim and a RINO to get their drawers in a knot about making sure that we don't use any Israeli-made anything in combat with terrorists! Just when you think it can't get more ridiculous........Wouldn't want to "offend" "precious muslim sensitivities" (GAG!) by using anything that might have been made by Israel! It might make the terrorists get real mad at us! FEH!
These "elected" representatives need to be retired and replaced by servicemen who have had to face death to protect the sorry butts of the Abercrummys of the country.
Could there possibly be some kind of incompatibility issue here? Maybe our leaders dont want to put a soldier in a life or death situation where the ammo could possibly malfunction?
Sorry to be a buzz-kill.
this p*ssed me off the last time I read it too.
It is just plain scary to think we have people in control of our military that think like this and are in a position to enforce it. We're at WAR.....Everything should be fair. These insurgents are trying to kill our troops and someone has the nerve to come up with this PC crap...One might get the impression that the person(s) that thought this up are ANTI American to the core.
Un-freakin-believable.
How can we defeat these murdering bustards with all this PC crap?
Even though this is an old article, I have 2 comments:
1) I remain stunned at how utter stupid and cowardly so many people, especially including so-called "leaders" are in the face of a bunch of 7th century nutjobs.
2) How in the Hell is anyone going to know the difference? IMI will be providing what Winchester calls Q3131A. It is the made-in-Israel equivalent of Winchester's US-made Q3131. It is extremely high quality (accurate and dependable - I've fired more than 1,000 rounds of it with no misfires and no flyers that weren't my fault) and, *more importantly* for this article, it is indistinguishable from the Q3131 except for the "Made in Israel" printed on the box. The cases are marked "Winchester," same as the Q3131, and the bullets are unmarked (not that this matters much after hitting a target, but I thought I'd mention it). I find it hard to believe that IMI would have any trouble in leaving that off of the containers holding the ammo if we requested it, so how the @#$* would the Islamofascists know the difference?
FWIW, I think that we should purposely and publicly use the Israeli ammo, just to show that we can't be intimidated and that we are not PC. Our soft spot is - and has been since Korea - our lack of courage as a nation to engage in a hot war of more than a few weeks duration. The strategy to defeat us is a well-known and easy one to implement - stall, inflict 10-50 dead per week on our forces, and in a matter of a few months our domestic traitors will begin the drumbeat for withdrawal (A.K.A. surrender).
UN-FREEKIN-BELIEVABLE!
Who is the idiot who titled this article? There is no way you could easily determine whether the bullet is IMI or Lake City. The cartridge case yes, the bullet no. Must be a product on Journalism school, give those people anything remotely technical to cover and they mess it up.
