They did not say that the trucks were distroyed. Just dropped off at the
wrong bases with no ID which screwed up the paper work. If the bean
counters had this much control over the fighting troops 35 years ago my
supply sargent would have spent most of his life in Levenworth.

The neo-cons nice little war plans have gone to hell in a handbasket and
costing a lot more than anticipated so now they want to screw the troops by
pinching pennys. I wonder if Rumsfeld has the nerve to have one of those
yellow support our troops ribbons on his car.

Wicker said. "They destroyed it. They did the enemy's job. ... Those
trucks could be used for other units."

I think this may be the operative part......
