Right after the 50,000 M-1 carbines that the Republic of Korea (not just friendly but an actualy ally) has been trying to sell back to US dealers gets ublocked by State.

The difference is, the Koreans don't have the MAP paperwork for all of those carbines, and they're also trying to sell them to US importers, not return them to the US Armed Forces. The M1 Garands loaned to Iran wouldn't be subject to the same roadblocks, as they were part of the MAP. We got back a fair number of M1 Garands from Turkey during the Obama administration because of the MAP requirements, so any obstructions to the return of Garands from Iran would most likely be on their end, not ours.

It's not tow the line, it's toe the line. That's just a fact!

What's up with the grammar/spelling nazi routine? Does it make you feel better about yourself?
You wrote in another post about the right to bare arms.
Thought about quoting that, but I don't stoop that low, and I'm sure the others on this forum that saw it felt the same way.

In this time of auto spell check that may or my not produce the grammatically correct word, what's the point of being a grammar nazi?

I smell BS in this boat story. Two riverine boats in the middle of the Gulf by themselves? Taking a little cruise from Kuwait to Bahrain. Why? No escorts? Got lost? Follow the shoreline, how hard is that. They now say it was a navigational error. Sounds like a pleasure cruise gone bad. Some folks are going to get fired. I assure you.
