I really feel bad that I wish they were mine. Hope somebody get`s them before the PC police destroy them. God, I am sometimes weak.

"One U.S. sniper found parts that fit his Remington rifle and picked up a new case for his."

I think a few souvenirs are OK in this case. Doesn't the army use a 9mm Baretta?

U.S. commanders quickly sealed off the building and ordered troops to return any weapons they had taken. With a collective sigh, soldiers emptied their pockets of pistols and knives, putting them back in the building to be destroyed.

Destroyed?
I think that should be considered a war crime.

"Destroyed?

They should be shipped back and auctioned off to "help pay for the cost of the war"!

Thank goodness they were told to put the guns back! We certainly can't trust our soldiers to have guns, now can we?
