Chamber the Cartridge… or Not
Chamber the Cartridge is a song by the punk band Rise Against. It is also what US Troops on patrol in Afghanistan were ordered not to do.
Michael Yon is an independent writer, photographer, and pretty much a war-zone junky. He made this report yesterday while he was embedding himself in the middle of the Bangkok chaos:
Michael Yon An American soldier emailed from Afghanistan saying that his unit has been ordered to patrol with no round in the chamber.
Let me get this straight… ONE day following a suicide bombing that was responsible for the death of several American soldiers, one Canadian soldier, twelve Afghan civilians, and is considered the deadliest day in the war for Officers ever; and we are ordering our men to go on patrols without a round in the chamber?
