Great. Guess what this means? Each Iraqi soldier is going to need a lot of 5.56 ammo to practice with. More demand = higher price. Of course, the great irony is a lot of the 5.56x45mm we use in Iraq is made by the Israelis.
I’m sure my commenter Markadelphia will say that this proves we only invaded Iraq for the benefit of the Military/Industrial Complex, since Colt and other munitions manufacturers will be getting big contracts out of this.

It’s a stellar way to get outside influence to continue to wane, as we’re pretty much the go-to guys for AR parts and ammo.
