for the military that is.

Don't get me wrong I WANT our boys and girls equipped with the BEST. I also firmly believe The People have the "RIGHT" to be equally as well equipped. This just goes to show the two faces of this SOCIALIST. Military yes, people no.

"The need for the M24E1 was first identified by in 2006 by 10th Mountain Division soldiers serving in Afghanistan. Once the military identified the need, Senator Charles Schumer and Representative Michael Arcuri led the effort in Congress to ensure that the program received crucial funding in 09 and 10.

Don't, for one second, believe Schumer had ANYTHING to do with getting this done. The man will rush to the opening of a casket if there's a hint of press inside. I'd LOVE to see a race between him and "Live-shot" Kerry as to who could get to a camera first....they'd be cutting each others' throats. Schumer is a snivelling, conniving, petty, arrogant little turd who isn't fit to be stepped in by our troops.
