Dans son excellent texte du 20 septembre 2005, r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par la question de savoir si Will Neocon Fanaticism Destroy America?<\/a>, Paul Craig Roberts nous donne quelques d\u00e9tails sur les statistiques des munitions de petit calibre (5,56mm, munition standard du M-16 et des d\u00e9riv\u00e9s) tir\u00e9es en Irak, depuis qu’ils y sont, par les Am\u00e9ricains 1 milliard 800 millions !<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tC’est simple, l’industrie US ne suit plus. C’est un bon exemple, au plus bas de l’\u00e9chelle de l’armement d’une arm\u00e9e en campagne (les munitions de petit calibre), des formidables habitudes d’overkill<\/em> et d’overpower<\/em> des Am\u00e9ricains, de leur conception de la guerre, de la confiance aveugle dans l’\u00e9crasement de la puissance de feu. Beaucoup plus que les analyses qu’on peut faire sur le probl\u00e8me, il y a l\u00e0 les signes d’une arm\u00e9e sur\u00e9quip\u00e9e et habitu\u00e9e \u00e0 des pratiques totalement contre-productives dans une guerre de gu\u00e9rilla. C’est un bon d\u00e9but d’explication du mot d’un diplomate fran\u00e7ais, qui occupait un poste \u00e9lev\u00e9 \u00e0 l’ambassade fran\u00e7aise au Cambodge, lors de l’invasion de ce pays par l’arm\u00e9e am\u00e9ricaine en 1970 : \u00ab J’ai vu se battre l’arm\u00e9e US au Cambodge et j’ai compris que c’\u00e9tait la plus mauvaise arm\u00e9e du monde.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab According to the Sept. 1 Manufacturing & Technology News, the Government Accounting Office has reported that over the course of the cakewalk<\/em> [Iraq] war, the U.S. military’s use of small caliber ammunition has risen to 1.8 billion rounds. Think about that number. If there are 20,000 insurgents, it means U.S. troops have fired 90,000 rounds at each insurgent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Very few have been hit. We don’t know how many. To avoid the analogy with Vietnam, until last week the U.S. military studiously avoided body counts. If 2,000 insurgents have been killed, each death required 900,000 rounds of ammunition.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The combination of U.S. government-owned ammo plants and those of U.S. commercial producers together cannot make bullets as fast as US troops are firing them. The Bush administration has had to turn to foreign producers such as Israel Military Industries. Think about that. Hollowed-out U.S. industry cannot produce enough ammunition to defeat a 20,000-man insurgency.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
