Bringing their weapons onto a civilian airliner? I'm calling BS. What would be the point in doing that? Why wouldn't they get shipped separately via military plane/boat? It isn't like they need their weapons immediately after landing in the US.

BTW, Infowars is a well-known tinfoil site.

Everyone flies in and out of the combat zone on civilian airliners. Kuwait- to Ireland - to your destination. Only exception is advanced parties escorting equipment.

Ok don't take my word for it. I've only done it multiple times. All major deploying bodies of a unit use civilian airliners. The only time you board military craft is for the jump from turkey to afghanistan or the jump from kuwait to iraq.

See my other post, it is a picture of my hand with an M9 inside a 747.

You keep the rifle with you at all times because you need it and its your responsibility. Its stays within arms reach at all times, taking a shit, its there, shower, its there (dont get it wet), yeh you carry it everywhere.
