Precious. This guy have a weapon which appears to be a muzle loader, shotgun shells hanging from his neck, and a bayonet tied so high on his chest, that I wonder how he is going to pull it out of the scabbard. Notice the wraps around the barrel of the gun. This ain't not floated barrel. Front and rear sights are missing. I predict accuracy near zero, but a lot of scary noise and smoke.

But he ain't running away.

The shirt he is wearing is pretty interesting. It got long sleeves with holes in the armpits to get the arms out when is too hot.

You go to war with the tribal flintlock family heirloom you have, not the tribal flintlock family heirloom you might want or wish to have at a later time.

Just like those Yemeni tribesmen, that tough old bastard is as much the vanguard on the US war on Al Qaeda as any grunt in Afghanistan.  He deserves a Green Beanie airdrop.

AK-47's are in such great supply, you'd think that if you were going to war in Africa you'd immediately get your hands on one.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Or a frog intervention. French paras shooting darkies? I'd get a huge murder boner.

A counterfeit AK-47 cost 4 cows in Africa.
That's a lot.

But that's down from 15 cows in 1986. Supply has tripled.

Who knows. I doubt the price and the supply is the same across the continent.

I know some regard them as only backward 'savages', but actually they're a natural ally; they're just people who want to live their own lives without others telling them how to live and what to believe, with is al-Qaeda.

Yeah, those redcoats never knew what hit them....

If the american revolution wasn't about people wanting to live their own lives without others telling them how to live and what to believe then I don't know what revolution was about that.
