30+ years later, I see the M-16 is still a jamming piece of shit.

"..Lynch dismisses early reports that she had engaged in a firefight with the Iraqis who ambushed the convoy. Like many soldiers in her company, the M-16 rifle she carried had jammed with grime and airborne sand. She fired no shots, she said.."
P.S.
US special forces are using captured AKs too.

The US special forces are using a modifed version of the M16 that uses AK 47 clips. That's in Afgan anyway not sure about Iraq.. reason being there is lots of ammo for AKs over there so if they get in a rough jam it's easy to find ammo.
