Why can't they just keep their AK's? The last thing we need to do is spend more money. After we have left they will probably go back to using AK's again anyway. Seems like it would be cheaper to provide them with plenty of 7.62X39 instead of our M-16's.
It has to do with symbolism. AK is the enemy's weapon of choice. By switching to the AR, it goes to say the Iraqi Army is our friend and ally. They identify with us.
Perhaps the US govt is trying to make the Iraqi Army dependent on us for small arms supply and servicing, allowing us more control of their armed forces.
k the U.S. is not trading $1000 M16's for crappy ak's
neither are they giving away the M16 you paid for with your tax $
if you look below the youtube video you will see
Iraqi soldiers handing in their AK-47s for new M-16 rifles purchased by the....
that is called a description
then you click show more and you see the entire description
Iraqi soldiers handing in their AK-47s for new M-16 rifles purchased by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense

How much do you think they pay per M-16? In the early 70s, when I was stationed in Turkey, the U.S. government was selling deuce and a half trucks for $5.00 a truck to the Turkish military. So do you reallt think they are paying full price for a M-16?
