"The only solution I can think of is to tell the troops to stop soaking the rifles in oil during desert operations."

Do they really do this? I was under the impression that there were some good dry-type lubricants in use.

If this is true, it is damn near unforgivable.

There were comments that the troops were using an excessive amount of the old CLP. That's when they bothered to clean the rifles. I don't know if it's really true.

It's really a shame. Without that ambush, the Iraqi war would have been flawless.
