I am sure that the military are well aware of giving away all this equipment, they are really just creatng an american force by proxy, using an Iraqi front.

Uh, I generally try to keep a balanced outlook on things...
I'm even in the military, so it shouldn't be a problem that we'll have another puppet in the Middle East, but...

F@#K THAT!!

Haven't we learned anything from the Taliban? They got so many of their resources from us in the first place...

Sometimes I wonder about what the brass is eating..or smoking..
