And depending on where you were located, you had to ensure that your ammo was secured in a "safe" place where it could not be easily dislodged and lost....such as undere a double or triple lair of pouches and pockets.<br /><br />Personally I always carried a magazine (9 mm) in my "Air Force gloves" more commonly referred to as a pocket, with my "inspectable" ammo properly secured. Nobody every asked about my "non-inspectable" items. <br /><br />I do have to agree, the longer that we are there, the more pointless it seems.<br /><br />Now here is something I almost hate to say.....keep in mind how much blood and sweat has been lost trying to make these peoples lives better. To the people shedding this blood and sweat it is a noble endeavor. We suffer from the as yet undiagnosed/named/identfied mental defect of wanting to see our efforts become successful....and maybe to a fault we keep volunteering to go back in hopes that we might be able to "finish" the job.<br /><br />Hell, I retired from the big green machine 3 years ago. I started drawing a pension. The amount of that pension is 2/3 of the median wage for working people in America, and I got it for sitting on my duff. 9 months ago....I asked to be recalled to get back into the fight until the job is done.<br /><br />Anybody know a good psychiatrist?alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938364530823657038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324757993202351018.post-8801490656315446982012-08-20T09:07:06.614-07:002012-08-20T09:07:06.614-07:00Spider,

Maybe now, instead of just being shot down like dogs by so-called "allies", they can fire back? Then again, maybe they're not allowed to fire their weapons, just keep them loaded. That wouldn't surprise me.<br /><br />What truly amazes me is how these brave and dedicated warriors don't simply shoulder their weapons and come home. Let the armchair generals and politicians go and fight.<br /><br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/17/coalition-troops-now-armed-at-all-times-on-afghan-bases-in-wake-insider/Spidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324757993202351018.post-56638691048988626742012-08-17T20:21:22.083-07:002012-08-17T20:21:22.083-07:00And again.
