Nothing, just proving you wrong again. YOU said the US soldiers
WEREN'T swapping out/using AK-47s in combat in Iraq. You asked me to
prove it and I did.


According to the article, they aren't swapping out. Troops
are authorized to use AK-47s primarily because as armored troops
they aren't issued M-16/M-4s to every troop.


Yeah it would seem that properly arming them for their new
asignments came as an afterthought to the DOD.
