The Stoner Arms Dealers: How Two American Kids Became Big-Time Weapons Traders

[johnp 45]

*-And how the Pentagon later turned on them

 

Really interesting story I found about the rise and fall of two teenagers from Miami, who became a key component in the war on terror. It's quite a few pages of reading, but interesting none the less. These two guys started taking small government contracts to supply troops with helmets and small stuff. Eventually turned it into a near billion dollar- 2 man company, jet setting all over Europe, and buying guns and ammo from all over Eastern Europe.

Good read. I read this close to a year ago. Very interesting story! It kind of reminded me of that Nicolas Cage movie 'Lord of War'.
