I would have thought that with the excetption of exotics, that the M14 would be one of the least common rifles in Africa. I'm not aware of any commercial sales of the M14, and I'm unaware of any 'aid' rifles given to African countries.

Ok, Haitian policeman using a Garand...interesting.
The "slum" kids of Sadr City seem to know what soap is and clean clothes are. "slum"....here they call it the "inner city" and "underdeveloped nieghborhoods" and the people are cracked-out and dirty; yet somehow worthy of a PC term for their vermin infested slice of hell. In other countries...they are just "slums" according to the media..... |

The Clinton administration also dumped a sizeable quantity of M14's and 1911's into Somalia as we pulled out. Part of his flawed plan to prop up a paper government, run by a freaking war lord. One hell of a departure gift, I must say!
