I have seen alot of footage from there on the news. Them mobs are carrying alot of M14's M1 Garands, and M 1 Carbines. I guess we supplied them with the equipment .My cousin got the call to go there in the early 90's with 20th group.They was to be a visual presence for the mobs to see so they wouldn't think about getting out of line.But they had no power to stop what was going on.They wasn't aloud to do anything. He told me alot of the relief effort supplies goes straight to the black market.The people acted like savages.Instead of passing it out to there poor and needly people,they would beat them back off the trucks and take it over and resell it for profit. It is a joke down there.A big toliet. WD

How about that! :-)
Those in other parts of the world will use what's readily available, and the M1 was distributed widely to many countries. I think the AR/M16 might be a bit pricey for some "intl' groups", but the AK47 is certainly affordable.

It's sort of depressing to see one of our finest rifles involved in that mess.  But that's what happens when you support insurgents.  On your side one day, on the other the next!
