Are you planning on going on a nice trip?
To earn tax free money?
I'm figuring you are bout half my age, with more than less that of experience. As a career soldier, I have only read maybe 10 articles, and possibly flipped through one whole mag once. I have been offered mega bucks for my skills, tax free, and my choice of armor and wepon layout. I've been to that god for saken desert more than I want to count. Do you know why those people act that way?
Here is a secret. It's freaking over 100* every day for more than 120 days there, no A/C, no running water, and personal hygeine was unheard of until soldiers showed up. My last departure was 15 MAY, it was 1100Hrs, and a moderate 119*F or roughly 48.3c for those in the know.

Oh, my bag. You wanted to know about the mag. Good articles on new equipment, ammo, and the likes.

Do you remember a small place called Oklohoma City? See, there was this guy, lets call him SPC Mc Veigh, he used to read this mag every month. Being a grunt, nobody thought much of it. But once he comitted his atrocity, the media ran with the story long and hard. That very well may be why your peer's dislike it.
