2. Lot of troops are buying their boots from LL Bean

Because they are better in Iraq than the Army boots.

[WLKjr]

5. goes to show that maybe the military should contract LL Bean then huh?

:shrug: You would think that people would notice this in the higher ranks.

[coffeenap]

3. tampons

[stellanoir]

4. that's one of the many reasons

those car magnets annoy the hell out of me. Can you imagine if every person who bought those for 3-5 bucks a piece bought some of these totally essential supplies instead. . .? I've seen as many as five on one vehicle.

That probably would a veritable surplus of supplies.

But NOOOOOOO, they'd much prefer to wear their pseudo patriotism on the body of their damn cars than actually do anything to really support the troops.

7. Beanie Baby

They are good to make friends with the kids. And a lot of people have their "collection" they do not want anymore.

[Squeech]

9. Halliburton

probably has the contract for all this, and is probably just blowing it off, with the Shadow Pentagon's full backing and support.

One thing somebody (with more patience than me) should do is collect all the stories of things that went wrong with simple logistics throughout the war. I remember vaguely in spring 2003 stories about water shortages, including one where a wingnut chaplain controlled a tank truck but wouldn't hand any out unless the recipient affirmed that Jesus was his personal lord and savior. There were screwups in mail delivery, laundry, food (including the mess halls with worms), and of course the truck armor that the vendor was ready to provide and wondering why DoD never asked for it...

Yeah, way to support the troops!

Then they'll come home, missing parts of their bodies and/or souls, and have to deal with the Rumsfeldized VA...

The ntanker just earned his seat in hell. Deserves it too
