AK’s are much more weather and sand worthty . I’m pretty sure the ammo is interchangable with ours ( 5.62 mm.?)A lot of guys scavenge the enemy’s AK’s because of this very reason .

Your first point is debatable ... your second point is absolutely not true.

Russian rifle calibers (7.62x54R, 7.62x39, 5.45x39) are utterly incompatible with NATO rifle calibers (7.62x51, 5.56x45).

Aren't SOF's trained to use the enemy's weapons against them? Also, aren't most of the troops in Afghanistan SOF's? Shouldn't we collect as many of the enemy's weapons as we can even if we aren't using them, if only to prevent them from using them?

I know Obama's supporters and the media, sorry, redundant, are ignorant, but willfully ignorant? (Actually, we already know the answer to that, I just like asking)

Heh, poor guy. None will let him forget that here!

Point is, libs have such disdain for the military, and since the MSM is at least 80% libs, their stories are rife with inaccuracy. Those of us who have a degree of knowledge constantly grit our teeth when they show a destroyer and refer to it as a battleship, or a cobra and call it a huey...

They just shrug their shoulders and drive on to the next drive by (to reference Rush Limbaugh) because it simply is not at all important to them.

To people like us, it IS important.
