Reports had reached the point that Congress finally had to legislate the Pentagon to reimburse soldiers and their families who were buying equipment for the battlezone. The fact that the DoD -- run into the ground by the boorish Rumsfeld -- is unable to provide battle zone equipment for those soldiers the White House loves to heap praise upon is embarrassing and deadly enough. But after being directed by Congress over a year ago to establish a reimbursement program to repay soldiers who do buy their own equipment, the Pentagon has yet to produce a set of "completed guidelines" for the program. Senator Dodd (D-Conn), the original sponsor of the bill, is now so furious with the Pentagon, he intends to introduce another bill that would strip the incompetent Rumsfeld of authority over the program and hand it to military commanders in the field.There's more there ... The disgraceful treatment soldiers have received from these bastards is a national outrage, all the more so for their trumpeting about "support the troops," when they have done little of the kind. |
