Can he bring some Russian SVDs over with him? Those things are incredibly rare in the US.



/Headline is funny cause it's true.
//and people wonder why the world hates us.

With his know-how, the US will be able to funnel weapons to five times the puppet dicatorships it's supplying now. No Death Squad Left Behind.

Which reminds me. I need to get it.

//What do all the Fark Polititrolls think about this?

Well, the rightie trolls will let you know what they think after they've been told what it is by Fox and Rush.

Isn't it sad how "merchants of death" are always unassuming guys in drab suits? A REAL Merchant of Death ought to make Rambo cry like a little girl and Machete look like a poseur.

Sweet gun porn lead-off by the way.

The Duck of Death, I say!

Had a friend who was into these novels. It's pretty much what you describe. He's like a murder machine version of Bond.

Precisely.

If you're going to sell Death, you better look the part, IMO.

USP .45: yeah, reference a Hollywood flick completely devoid of reality, you goddamn idiots.

Ummm yeah...his character was based on a real person

"Former Soviet military officer Viktor Bout, the inspiration for Nicholas Cage's character in the Lord of War, remade himself as an international arms dealer and blood diamonds trafficker following the break-up of the USSR. Using his air charter business to smuggle weapons into the world's conflict zones (circumventing U.N. embargoes), Bout traveled the world with a precious gems expert and accountant in tow, supplying arms to a notorious clientele: Liberia's Charles Taylor, a cast of Congolese warlords, and the Taliban, among others. More surprising, journalists Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun report in their new book on Bout, Merchant of Death, is that the shadowy Tajik-born arms dealer has also provided his services to the U.S. military and several U.S. contractors in Iraq, including Halliburton parent company Kellogg, Brown & Root."

also based on a real person...

Yeah. I want a Merchant of Death type movie based on someone who looks like Jonah Hex after he's been run through a woodchipper and with more weapons on board than a character at the end of Fallout 3.
