Wow, real M4 Rubber rifles! Standard issue in the Air Force? LOL! To lazy to clean a real M-16 rifle at the end of the day? Unable to keep track of sensitive items by serial number?
Man, how embarrassing. Airman holding rubber rifles on the front page of the local newspaper.
I feel so safe this morning.

I'm so happy I don't have to play their damned games anymore. I got my money's worth and I hope they do too! I came in at the right time (summer of '79) and I retired at the right time (spring 03--just as the Iraqi intervention was kicking off). Too bad I can't convince (I've begged) my kids to go partake of all the fun! Perhaps they saw too much they didn't like!

I am sorry you have nothing else to do but try to be pithy. I guess some of us have to work to support lazy liberal welfare cases. This is the last time I look at local liberal newspaper articles. I am far too busy to waste my time ready these left wing biased comments. Hope you take time to respond since I will NOT waste time to look and see if you do...
