In the light of recent developments over there, South Korea might want to hang on to those rifles for a while ...

There might be some M1's that shot a North Korean and then shot that same North Koreans' grandson some 50 years later! Man, what a life I could create for one of these fine weapons.

If the US gave away rifles, whether it was free or not, it was because it was in our best interests to have those rifles over there.

If you guys saw how much we gave to the allies during WW2 under Lend-Lease, and how much they paid us back, and how much we forgave, youd all be hoppin mad. The UK only just paid us off in 2006.

The UK just paid us our last

The loan was for post-war adjustment (rebuilding the country), rather than the war itself. This is different from World War I, where money was lent for the war itself.
