BTW, Infowars is a well-known tinfoil site.

Were you in the military? If not then you don't know what the hell you are talking about. STFU and GTFO

This. When I flew from Germany to Bosnia back in 97 I flew lufthansa to some airport then jumped on a chopper to pop into the helo base I was stationed on. When I flew to Kuwait in Feb 03 just before the war started in March I flew from Ft Hood on a C-5 only because I was bumming a ride with some military equipment. But the rest of the unit went home on Civillian aircraft, they ALL had their rifles slung.

You got me on the weapons thing though. I still don't see the point, if you're just going home. Seems like they could be shipped separately. Now, going the other way, TO theatre, makes more sense, since you would need them as soon as you arrived. But what do I know.

AGAIN STFU if you have not been in the service and know first hand what the hell you are talking about. I really hate when non service people say shit about what happens in the military, when they CLEARY have no FUCKING clue. Don't argue with some one that has the experience and the ways to prove it. Not all people are cut out to be a service member, and whatever your reason for not joining is up to you, but PLEASE PLEASE don't sully our experiences and our dedication because you don't THINK thats what happens. Its ok, you don't have to know EVERYTHING. You can be wrong or even actually learn something once in a while.
