Yes, I am having a hard time reading this as well, my husband has spoke of wanting to shoot back while on a convoy, but the only thing keeping them from doing so is that someone will fire one or two shots off and hide (or run) like a coward, and what mainly keeps them from shooting back is they are unsure of where it actually came from, not because they aren't allowed to have guns or because of no ammo. I wonder if it isn't a company or one of the divisions doing this, because it doesn't seem like it could be "army wide".

Mike(hubby) just called from Kuwait, he's back from Balad and preparing to take his other Co up in the very near future.....his weapons on the convoy include: automatic weapons(SAWS),50 Cals, grenade launchers, and M16's sticking out of every window....every GI is issued the basic load of 3 magazines and re-supplied when needed......
