Reply #25: Having to be reimbursed for protective gear? And getting the runaround

[argyl]

for it? This is disgraceful.

I doubt this is common practice among modern military forces. I'm sure Israel sends their men and women into harm's way adequately protected as do all European armed forces.I'd bet most countries much worse off than us treat their military better.

For our government to give such short shrift to these young people while piling the pork onto the plates of Halliburton,Bechtel,Fluor,Blackwater,etc.,certinly shows us where their priorities lie.

Prayers for your son. May be return healthy in body and mind.
