In the 90s my unit was doing some work in Central America. I tried to get my Commander to let me bring back a couple AK47s, on the Battery inventory, for training purposes. Going rate for a AK47, with no country of origin markings, was around $45 US. Rumor was these were coming from China. I had a hard time understanding why the drug cartels were going north to pay $500 for a semi automatic AR 15 when they could go south and get a select fire AK for $50.

FWIW, I couldn't care less about his personality.
All I care about are a person's qualifications and what they can, and do get done.

Or at least repeat the mistakes.
I don't care about his personality, either, but his word salad is a match for a former VP of the USA and totally non-informative as far as I am concerned. If he said something important I missed it.
Bongino is a good choice, true patriot with LE experience, not a desk jockey.
Yeah, he isn't just another polished political type.
Maybe not the most articulate of likeable character, but he's "been there - done that". JMO.
