    Well, if there's more traffic back and forth, that means the shipping prices might go down. Maybe. I just want a Garand.

    So they loaded rifles in Korea onto a ship, then transported the rifles all the way to California just to dump them overboard?
    I'm sure that even the US military has some kind of EPA restriction from dumping garbage into the ocean. And why couldn't they just dump them overboard near Korea?

    Again, it is an internet rumor. But, my take on it was that the US took possession of the garands (as they actually do belong to the US) loaded them on boat, and on the way back to the US they finally got the word from the gov't that Obama did not want all those garands to make it back to US territory. So as they approached US waters off the coast of California, they were pushed by the pallet load into the deep dark blue.

    That is the rumor.

    I don't know why, but there's that little shred of hope every time I click on this.

    Well I don't believe it, just due to the ecology thing, but if they did, can anyone find out the coordinates of the dump site!
