The alarm clock went off apparently....

I noted with interest that the NATO Commander in Afghanistan, American General Allen, has been apprised of the fact that Afghan security forces have been shooting coalition forces with their shiny new weapons when they were handed to them.

Apparently stymied by this situation, after much brain trust work, the four star general decided to let the coalition forces put bullets in their guns!! Brilliant strategy. Well, I exaggerate a little, they can only lock their ammo clips into their weapons now, but they can't lock and load a cartridge into the firing chamber until some bad guy starts shooting at them. But it's a start.

Heck. Ole' Andy Griffith figured this out years ago when he let Barney Fife carry a bullet in his shirt pocket!

Next thing you know, even those folks in the White House will know we are at war and our young men and women are getting killed over there. I think they have forgotten!

And with such a keen military mind as that Panetta fella as Secretary of Defense.. what a surprise.....
