I haven't been on-line for a few months. I may not be able to reply again to this topic for a few days. I am currently in Iraq. I wanted to make a few observations on what I have personally experienced.
I am in a small Military camp in Southern Iraq. There are 1500 to 2000 soldiers living in the camp. Every Soldier is REQUIRED to carry their weapon at all times. They are also required to carry ammunition with their weapons at all times. No one has been accidentally shot. There have been no armed robberies. As far as I can tell there is little if any crime of any type.
These are my personal observations. I will check back when I can, but my Internet time is EXTREMELY limited.
