20,000 M16's stolen
« on: April 09, 2013, 07:40:20 PM »
http://www.worldtribune.com/2013/04/09/20000-u-s-m-16s-stolen-from-unguarded-warehouse-in-kuwait/

Army MP's inquired with the ATF, and they replied "I saw nothink!  nothink!"

 :lol:

Who the hell doesn't put a guard on a warehouse with 20,000 M16's?

(And how do I find one of these things on Silk Road?) :angel:

I can't imagine something like that going unnoticed.

I believe the road no longer has up a firearms section. Bummer.  :angel:

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

It would not surprise me if some corrupt Kuwaiti  general arranged for this theft

Anyways, these were something that we gave them/sold them. Not our problem anymore. Kuwait is lead by folks that make our military and civvie leaders look like geniuses

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

We should be grateful that the majority of our (nominal) enemies are in fact,  morons.

Why am I suddenly reminded of the scene in Lord of War where he walks onto a Ukranian army base and cleans out the bunkers of AK-47's.  :facepalm:

Probably going to end up in the hands of Al-Qaeda freedom fighters in Syria...or perhaps Iran?

Hillary!... Tell me, does it make a difference?

That's kinda what I was thinking. It was an arranged theft transfer to get them in the hands of the Moozlim Bro'hood in Syria without having to jump through the Congressional hoops of arming an adversary.......... Either that or Eric Holder and the BATFEces are expanding their markets to the Middle East.

After all the BS I saw while in Iraq and Kuwait over the course of almost 3 years, I'm not surprised these "walked" away.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
