"More effectively quell violent protests without loss of life"?
So the protests would be even more violent with full metal jackets on those bullets.
Thanks for the confession, you Army goons.
These are meant for us, of course. They obviously don't give a rip about loss of life in other countries. They should make new recruiting videos showing Americans being mowed down with rubber bullets, and then arrested and thrown in the Gulag. Army Proud!
