For the Army because what they have now just isn't killing it good enough.
“This is an historic event. We have not done a carbine competition in our lifetimes,” The Army has launched a dual strategy designed to give you a more accurate, durable and lethal weapon that will be the mainstay for the next 40 years.
I have to differ here on what's historic. Seems to me there's never been a problem killing the other side when needed. Not only those on the other side but mothers,children and other innocents as well.
Innocents-you know the ones that didn't do anything but yet they were killed. Maybe the guns wouldn't be wearing out if they weren't used for that.
Historically we are in the longest "Wars" since this nation was formed. For history's sake I'd like to see the people get their way and leave these places like all of us voted for.
But we love our guns and killing way too much to do that. Whore Beck says we are returning to the non-existent sky being who must love even more the same things because there ain't a fucking one of those slugs that showed up yesterday that calls for the withdrawal of our troops from our war theatres.
But they sure as hell would go along with the samo ya know ya see there as it becomes even clearer how screwed we really are.

Thank you for that Rev and it is mine as well and I have just included it on this post.
ReplyDeleteI don't have tv so I don't know how muck fight back there was yesterday and today over whore beck-probably not a whole hell of a lot.
We have the longest wars in history now because we have designed wars that we cannot win. Wars use to consist of toppling governments. Not any more. Look at Afghanistan and Iraq. The traditional war in both countries was over within days. We should have packed up our shit and got out.
ReplyDeleteBut no. We saw it as an opportunity to test new weapons, funnel billions of dollars to our war companies, and make our government benefactors millions, if not billions, of dollars in the process.
Oops, a few millions innocent civilians killed in the process. Well, there has to be some collateral damage. It can't be helped. We have to let the world know not to fuck with us.
Oh, by the way, how's that working out?
Fly, new weapons are one of our favorite forms of corporate welfare.
ReplyDeleteWhen do we get new guns? The only damn thing we get is less and the simple fucks on the other side think that's good for them. How fucked up is that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the M-16 kills alright -- kills the GI expecting the POS to work when he needs it, that is. It's been known since Vietnam that the M-16 is an unreliable POS but rifles are a low-bucks weapon so our GIs have been stuck with it for over 40 years now. About friggin time the POS was replaced...
