Navy SEALs forced to share rifles?! Um, wheres the COMMANDER and Chief?

[Timmy]

Yeah, but Europe had a lot more shit that was broken ! Afgan is 3rd world and mostly empty . But nooooo , we had to literally build the whole place .

Anyway . The point is that the military has plenty of money . To say they can't afford guns is laughable .

Pentagon budget is $600 billion. There's 1.3 million active troops . That's $400,000.00 per soldier.

Probably the 14th hole

Hunh?

You are joking. Right?

"Navy SEAL teams don’t have enough combat rifles to go around, even as these highly trained forces are relied on more than ever to carry out counterterrorism operations and other secretive missions, according to SEALs who have confided in Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.

After SEALs return from a deployment, their rifles are given to other commandos who are shipping out, said Hunter, a former Marine who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This weapons carousel undercuts the “train like you fight” ethos of the U.S. special operations forces, they said."


Obama can hand-deliver thousands of guns and grenades to Mexican Drug Cartels, but he can't ensure the SpecOps guys he is sending to Iraq and abroad to fight his wars have their OWN weapons?! To be fair, R-Mac Thornberry, head of the House Armed Services Committee is scrambling right now to find out what the hell is going on now that this story has broken out, as well.

Get your ass in gear, buys, and support our troops!

Why do you idiots continually fall for this nonsense coming from these conspiracy theory sites?

I thought you claimed you were in the military?

Where do you get this to be an unqualified site? I read the very same post on THREE military sites with links to the Congressional hearings and questions!

Hussein has been a dismal Commander in Chief. He is not well-liked by the rank and file soldiers. And it's unforgivable what he's done to our Veterans. So many good honorable Vets have died waiting for treatment on his watch. That may be his biggest shame as President.

He's not well liked by people like you who call him a war criminal for killing hundreds of terrorists with drones.

Most soldiers especially Vets, despise him. He's been a disgrace.

Because your average service member can't afford a Class III weapon.

And if they buy it . Don't they get to take it home ? Let's have military grade weapons in the streets!

Our service members shouldn't have to purchase their own equipment.

Your weapon is an extension of your self. To know everything about how that weapon has been used and treated is an advantage that could be life saving.

Obama is in the insurance business. He ought to provide loans then.

I was under the impression that you could bring your own weapons. I got this by reading Seal Team Six, where in one battle, a specific man had a larger caliber gun, but in the prolonged fight, ran out of munitions. He ended up being forced to pick up the crappy enemy weapon, until he could get a rifle from someone leaving combat.

The problem with bringing your own weapon, is that all the spare parts, are for the stock issue. And obviously if your gun of choice doesn't use the cartridges available, then you may run out of bullets.

I imagine during a skirmish the time may come to abandon one's weapon for any number of reasons. Hope that the soldier has experience in handling more than one model. I didn't say to bring a different issue weapon than what was recommended or assigned to your regimen.

Uniformity and those things ain't cheap.

There is NEVER a time under ANY CONDITIONS that any fighting man or woman would voluntarily "abandon their weapons!"

Period.

However, when so severely wounded and unconscious, they would not be expected to guard their weapon - but their comrades are guaranteed to gather it up for them.

Your weapon is your life line and you live with it 24 hours a day in a combat zone.

I know a few guys and women who joined the armed services. It was not for them. Too bad those who take their job seriously are denied proper equipment. Hope the next president makes this a priority. If the day came where we needed to do more than run sorties I hope we're ready.

Do you think this story is the least bit credible ?
