I wonder how many sorties the Turks did out of the total, and I betcha most or all of them were against the Kurds.
Why does The U.S.House of Rep/Con/Teas fund this crap with redistributed socialist tax dollars.
OH! That's Right! Capitalism is for us,Socialism is for the 1% & their blowjobbers.

I was wondering, if the story is about US supplied "military hardware" why the guy in the picture was carrying a Russian made PK machine gun?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PK_machine_gun
The United States is currently unsure if Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) fighters, who have reportedly received nearly 50 tons of ammunition funded by American taxpayers, will participate in the U.S. operation to retake Raqqa, the de facto Syrian capital of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), according to the Pentagon.
Remember those stories about the USG buying up millions of dollars of ammo over the past few years? I guess now we know why.
Lesse, the cheapest round of 7.62x54 runs about $0.25 or so, probably less in mega bulk.

$500M would yield...2B+ rounds!!!
FUCK that's a lot of ammo!
But wait,one roud of 7.62x54 weights 22g. 2B rounds would weigh about 49,000 tons, not 50 tons. 50 tons of 7.62x54 is about 2M rounds.
The real story here? The USG uses your taxes to pay 1000x too much for ammo!

I meant 50K tons.
I wonder when Obama will send them some ships, so they can personally return all of the amo and guns.

No you were correct the first time:
...fighters, who have reportedly received nearly 50 tons of ammunition funded by American taxpayers...

Just wait till bumhole Obama brings a quarter million Syrian refugees here without passports, just on their good word. We'll be doing our own sorties against the Islamic state militants right on our American soil, because retard for a president thinks that not a single ISIS element will use this immigration as a way to come to US to create chaos and more terror.
So get this Butthole air dropped some 50 tons or 500 million dollars worth of military hardware to the
YPG, a key U.S. ally against the Islamic State. Because Butthole was Butthurt that Good ole Pootie Poo Putin was killing all Jihads regardless who they voted for in the 2008 and 2012 USA election.
So then Friday it was reported that the YPG said, "No we're not going to fight your war, and do what you want us to do with this hardware, we'll do as we see fit. But thanks alot Asshole!"
So now where in the hell did the YPG go with the carepackage from Obama with LOVE go?
YPG ->PKK -> ISIS It's all GOOD!
