#3 This would be the same UN who is trying to disarm the USA because guns are not not peace?

But U.N. officials and diplomats say that UNDOF peacekeepers, who traditionally only carry very light arms, will get machine guns, extra body armor and more armored vehicles.

What, no safety vest? Sheeet mohn, can't fill the truck without three layers of reflective.

#4 Did it say that it would authorize more than 9 rounds of ammunition? Per person? Per squad?

#5 Whether it is "one riot, one ranger", or the Big Red One, you get peace when determined men with guns show up. I rather suspect it is not the guns, but the will to use them that matters.
