  • To guard the Afgan borders, why not bring back the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)that was used in WWII for laying down a blanket of lead for up to a mile away.Mount the BAR on a Marine Corp (4 Wheel)mule with 2 marines on several hilltops and monitor the border crossings with airforce drones equiped with heat sensing equipment. We could monitor any activity and enguage the enemy a mile away keeping our troops safe and alive. Please respond that you recieved this message because only military would understand the power of this suggestion. Thank you and God bless our troops. Michael F.
