TOPIC: Although the nation of Israel produces over 73% of the M-16 rounds used by the United States military, and almost 100% of the M-16 rounds used by our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, approx 81% of the big-ticket air, land and sea weapon systems and platforms used by Israel during its recent encounter with Hezbollah was manufactured by the United States. Because American taxpayers as well as employees of U.S. militiary weapons manufacturers have a commercial if not political investment in the recent Israeli/Hezbollah conflict, American citizens deserve to voice their opinion as to the outcome of the conflict.
