MSM does it again.

Early this week the Orlando media claimed to have had a surface-to-air missile turned over at a gun buy back. When in fact it was either a TOW II-C or a Javelin anti-tank missile. Well, it has happened again, our wonderful media claiming a piece of military ordinance as one thing, when in fact it's another. The picture below claims the item being held to be a RPG rocket. Nope, it is all of most likely a 81mm mortar. Not sure the country of origin, but it is defiantly a mortar. You media types may have know this if any of you served any time in the Army or Marines.

Actually what was turned in was a TOW TUBE - no missile.
