That armor they are using looks to be good for maybe up too 7.62mm or so, but something like a .50cal would cut right through it.

Still, if you are careful in where and how you employ them then they can be great assets.

If these guys are truely fighting for their freedom I don't understand why we aren't helping them more. Are they the "other guys" freedom fighters? Or is America too tired to be America right now?
