We've heard a lot about the dust and sandstorms in Iraq lately.
We all know that keeping a gun clean under those conditions is somewhere between real hard and impossible.
My question is; how much do you think this will effect the war there and in what ways.
My own take on it is that while we have better weapons and training they have AK 47s, which are likely less effected by the sand and it's their turf, so they are used to it.
Any vets from the last war there?
(I'm only asking about the ground war. I already know that a JDAM dropped from a B 52 at 40,000 feet won't even notice the sand!)
