>>512383639 (OP)The Army doesn't trust its own soldiers.
Those guns are not for soldiers to defend themselves with. They only give you guns when THEY want you kill something.
Think of Army weapons like those little knives they put on roosters to cockfight with. They aren't giving the rooster those to walk around all day killing whatever it wants. They only put them on inside a ring where the roosters can only kill things that its master wants dead. Thats how the Army is too. Here in the States, those weapons are more locked down than a bank vault. Once you get to the middle east and are around all the dunecoons that the jews want dead, then they give you all the guns you can carry.
