“An average Sudanese child can field strip a Type-81 assault rifle by the time he is in seventh grade. An American child could not until he enlisted in the military”

    Dude…it was satire. The Onion is not a real news agency. /facepalm…

    And next time you comment on our country do have the courtesy to capitalize America. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was only an oversight due to a deficit in your education, in that case I pity you.

    I’m not sure the video is entirely accurate. Take a look at http://doubletapper.blogspot.com/2008/01/he-dad-must-be-really-proud.html and see what I’m talking about.
