...Sadly enough, malfunctioning weaponry isn’t a new phenomenon in the War on Terror. Equipment failure has been a constant problem in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003, and despite much public criticism and even a Congressional investigation, little has been done to actually address the issue. Regardless of the politics involved, America’s war fighters—who have already put their lives on the line—deserve the best equipment possible. Unfortunately, what passes for standard-issue these days doesn’t even come close...
...While the War on Terror has proven to be a politically controversial topic, one goal that both sides of the aisle should share is the preservation of our service members’ lives. Simple solutions to our military’s current problems, such as better lubricant oil and the HK416, have the potential not only to make our soldiers safer and more effective, but even save us money in the long run.

And the potential for even greater mayhem in Kenya remains high. Both Annan and former U.S. President Bill Clinton have acknowledged their failure to prevent or stop the Rwanda genocide. And while western pundits may dismiss the comparison, for Kenyans, the fear of a second Rwanda is very real. "I can see the beginnings of an ethnic conflict...
