Ninjahedge,
I agree that these "codes" shouldn't be on the weapons. I just disagree about the practical import. It'll be just another line of propaganda, when their are so many of them.

Think about your scenario. Taking guns off dead Americans to squint at the few extra letters or numbers on the end of a serial number?

Think they'll be impressed with that, when chances are the dead soldier has money stamped with God on it, a cross around his neck, a religious tattoo on his body, or a bible in his pocket?

They already think these guys are crusaders.

The funny thing is that we've been carrying these things around in conflict zones for years - decades. Even on the holy Arabian peninsula. They've been shooting at us looking down the same gun sights too. Think the Taliban will start throwing them away, now that they know?

Oh c'mon.... the weapons have been issued to the soldiers by the US government.

^ Not all, no.

And that is the real issue. The real issue here is factions of the populace not already convinced.

This kind of clowning around only gets in the way of the good work people are doing there. Remember that besides the war and the Americans there are International peacekeeping troops there as well. This is just bad, bad behavior by the Americans.

Dtol, now that they know, they will be angrier. They will also do what I suggested, remove the codes from the guns.

If your enemy is fighting you on what they call religious grounds, it is NOT a wise idea to start singing hymns on the battleground.
