So we lost track of 190,000 AK-47's in Iraq.
I'm sure that's just a "conservative" number made up for our benefit.
You just HAVE to know no one wanted the job of weapons tracker.
People can't even keep track of each of one of a dozen pairs of socks-- they are always coming up one or more short-- and the Military wants someone to keep track of almost 200,000 guns?
Some of the guns probably aren't even missing at the hands of the insurgents.
I'll bet some have been dismantled and sent home as souvenirs.
A number were probably given out to Iraqi's needing protection the Military couldn't provide.
And a few thousand are likely left in the dryer, where missing guns tend to turn up, if one cares to look carefully.
