Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to be the first line of defense against insurgents and terrorists. You are to keep the peace, and protect
the citizenry.
The catch: We can provide you with the weapons and vehicles that you need to accomplish this mission, but we cannot provide you with ammunition for
those weapons, nor can we provide any fuel for those vehicles. We also can't provide you with the funding to obtain those either.
Would you take this mission?
Well, that's what the Afghan National Police have to do...and we wonder why we are still in Afghanistan!
The U.S. won't help the people help themselves, but we'll provide legitimacy and stature to the ones we want to be in power and to enforce the peace
so we can bring our troops home.

Cops
Well, I suppose that is a new way of making sure that you don't wear out your welcome when occupying a foreign sovereign nation. Since the Police
have no bullets to use, they have to rely on the U.S. Military to do the shooting for them.
Sounds like a great way to control a populace. Wait a second, I wonder if that's why there's an ammo-shortage in the United States too!
