Lawmakers urged the Army yesterday not to use Israeli-made bullets in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. Congressman Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii said of the Israeli-made bullets “by no means, under any circumstances should a round be utilized.” Other lawmakers noted that the US could suffer a public relations crisis if Israeli bullets were used to fight Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Legislators urged the army to keep buying the Israel bullets — which are needed to make up for a shortfall — but they urged that the bullets only be used for training.
