I’ve never been to Afghanistan but I assume there were supply shortages because the first year it had to have been logistically challenging. I was in Vietnam and we ran short of ammo at times but it was because we might be temporarily at a site where helicopters couldn’t come in because of ground fire, or bad weather. As per having to use AK-47’s because there weren’t enough rifles—this is absurd. Nobody is going to be sent into action without a rifle. In a big fight sometimes in Nam guys would pick up a Kalashnikov or an SKS from the dead and fire it back at the enemy to try to confuse them. The sounds of those weapons is distinctly different from an M-16.
