Just So I Understand This... But Afghanistan is apparently awash in NATO 5.56mm ammunition, which can be used to load NATO guns, if only it can be taken (via fisticuffs, I imagine) from the local Afghan warlords and Taliban fighters?
Really? NATO 5.56mm, huh? In a third world country? A third world country with tons of AK-47s and AK-74s because it is 1) a third world country and 2) a former conquest off the Soviet Union?

But, of course, if we're capturing AK-47s, we also need to be capturing the Soviet or Chinese 7.62mm ammo that loads into it.
Amazing. Fucking amazing.

Upcoming footage will show US troops constructing crude cannons using a pipe made of a bamboo-ike substance, sulphur, phosphorus, saltpeter, and diamonds.
US Army Rangers Captain J.T. Kirk was quoted as saying, "Diamonds. Diamonds. Worth... a fortune. But to me-- useless. I'd trade them all, all. For. A simple. Phaser."
