    That's an awesome link. Great photos. I wonder if American weapons produced those tank kills. The sad thing is, the soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder for mother russia. The Russians could have taken 80% casualties and they would've still painted a rosie picture.

    BMs suck but damn! What a way to go. Looks like the russians secondary mission was to destroy all US arms and aid.

    And I don't think it was quite a cakewalk for mother russia.

    Remember that Most of the Georgian Senior NCO's and Field Grade Officers were part of the Old Soviet Army. They knew that if Mother Russia ever rolled south, SHTF would be an understatement. Surviving Georgian Army units would be cut off from any re-supply and it would be impossible to find 5.56 NATO on Dead/Captured Russians or from Russian Supply Convoys/Depots. AK makes good sense.

    No battleplan survives first contact with the enemy!
    Our gov told our media almost immediately after the fact that they had noted troop movements and advised the Georgians not to do it.

    Why? The aftermath (as far as the US is concerned) is that Georgia is still around, Poland signed the missile defense deal ASAP, and Ukraine is now offering DEW radar coverage for us.

    In the world of realpolitik, not bad. Not bad at all.

    That is far from true. Poland pushed US to sign this contract for long time and wanted it. We also provided ground for US anti-ballistic installations. Former US administration did not sign this becouse was not sure and new administration castrated it and cut down to one unarmed training Patriot battery to be here for 2 months a year. Most people here actually things that our close alliance with US is just sad joke and all we get are dead polish soldiers in Iraq and A-stan plus Russians moved additional 300 medium range missiles to polish border (in Kaliningrad area - in total they have enough them there to kill each of us three to four times). Sad but true.

    Yep, Negev. The Israelis have had their arms guys selling whatever they can in the former Soviet Republics.

    Estonia went to Iraq carrying Galils.






    rychencop, those Bushies were issued to the Georgian forces, they weren't US contractor rifles.

    I wish the Russians would capture the whole dang Bushmaster factory, as well as Model 1 sales, DPMS, etc.
