but then again who's shooting at target sized people from a mile away.

yeah. but a mile is out of their effective range for even light armor.

any type of armor the army will come in contact with in iraq, though, i'd assume would be penetrable by the .50 cal.

I just watched "Shooter" for the third time and he uses a .50 cal. Incredible movie if you haven't seen it.

probably correct, however one must remember that they are prettymuch all corrupt as fuck and we have been rebuilding their army with refurbished mtlbs and type 54/55 tanks (upgraded to the chinese type 69 standard) that one made me reeeeeeal nervous myself

Yeah, I get a little nervous everytime I see there tanks. They're getting all kinds of high speed chit just to make it harder next time.
