There have been a number of reports, including on the top war correspondent of this generation's FB page, that our troops are patrolling in some parts of A-Stan with no round in the chamber of their weapons. I'm calling BS and have sent a message to ask if this is approved policy anywhere in theater. If anyone has specific info, not I heard from this guy whose sister knows a dude in the 82nd, but actual unit info about this. Then ping me and I will check it out. There is no earthly reason to do this. It doesn't make the locals any safer. It's not like we have had an epidemic of accidental discharges killing civilians. If it has happened trust me, we will be busting heads and taking no prisoners. If not then it's probably time for a hot, steaming cup of STFU.
