Military Automatic Assault Weapons ARE ILLEGAL in this Country...Actually, they're not. I can buy a fully automatic M-4 carbine just like the ones the soldiers in Iraq carry, legally in most of the states provided I pay the Federal and state excise taxes.

No you cannot. Since the Volkner-McClure act of 1986 you are banned from purchasing any fully automatic or burst fire capable weapon that has been manufactured after April 19th 1986.
You can buy a vintage M-16 and modify it to M4 standards but you won't get the the same thing as what our soldiers and Marines are carrying.
