FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARROWHEAD BRIGADE UNCOVERS TWO CACHES
MOSUL, Iraq - Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) under the operational control of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) uncovered two caches during operations Jan. 30 in and around Mosul.
Company A, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment uncovered a cache of weapons after an unknown number of enemy engaged a patrol with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades in northern Mosul. The patrol returned fire, and broke and moved to a location several blocks away. They then consolidated, reorganized and returned to secure the site. The patrol secured a cache consisting of one grenade, and six expended French Roland surface-to-air missile casings.
In Al Beer, Company A, 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment discovered a cache that included one AK-47, one RPK machine gun, 1,500 rounds of ammunition, 21 magazines, two blocks of demolition cord and 40 electric blasting caps.
The 101st and elements of the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division continue to work with the citizens and leaders of Iraq to make it a safe, prosperous, and democratic nation.

Weird.
I'd turn around and use the ammo and such against the enemy.
But that's me and my twisted sense of 'venegeance' and fair play.

We are using vast quantities of captured weapons and ammo. I've sat in meetings here discussing which units will get AK-47s.

Cool.
I'd love to write "How do you like me now" on an RPG and send it after a jihadi.
But, probably not a workable idea.

Yeah, they were kinda small.
But, I'd still divy up any non-booby trapped weaponry and ammo I could find and use it on the bad guys.
Kinda like 'return to sender' with feeling.
