Replace the M-16?

[daidhaid]

How about we replace the M16 with Jesus?
American Christianity is like nothing you would find in the Europe that I know. It is inconcievable that such a topic would appear among the Christians I know. Not judging that one way or the other: merely noting a difference. Again the union between Country and God, would worry European Christians.
American Christianity, American Church seems to be firmly in the saddle of an organism, where powerful military forces unleash awesome ordinance on an "enemy". Again no judgement in this, because any outcome can be good or evil. But, does it worry anyone: that there is this tight union between followers of God and Jesus; and the unleashing of hell on earth.

you have a good point one Jesus in uniform could probably replace the M16. He could do miracles and stuff to waste
all our enemies.
One problem is all our youth would miss the opportunity to be all they can be in our army of one.
Also unemployment would rise
And what if Jesus didn't want to give us the oil.
Even though He is on our side and all that,Gods are so unpredictable

In old world guns, there is no better round then 7.62x39.
I do not like the AK, but my rifle, the mini 30 fires a whole lot better, more reliable and needs less cleaning then the other military weapons I have fired.
It is a clean firing round and is very accurate in the right weapons.
Ak is very reliable and easy to use but is not very accurate by comparision.
Newer weapons could be better but from my time in the military(83-89) I would prefer the mini 30 then M-16 or Ak47.
I could out sniper an AK and shoot farther then a M-16.
JUst a thought
