KOs first story on court marshaling guardsmen
for scrounging materials to CONTINUE/COMPLETE their mission. My how things change. Remember the movie Green Berets which was aided in production by, and had advisers from, the army. Can't remember the actors name, but besides John Wayne, wasn't the co-star portrayed as the consummate military scrounger???????

1. My dad and uncle were in Korea
and a good friend of mine was in 'Nam and they all said the same thing; Scrounging for materials is commonplace in the military when they feel a need to complete their mission. These poor bastards are being railroaded by this bastard administration because there was no fucking plan, georgie boy wanted to play with his toy soldiers without realizing that these are human beings who want to survive. Since they are in combat, they will do whatever they have to. Fuck bush! Pardon these soldiers.
