So basically, the Supply pukes get $199 million tostudy why they can't get me a handful of 50 cent gaskets in a reasonable amount of time?

The problem with today's military is that there are too many accountants and and managers and not enough leaders and warfighters.

No logistics support, no provisioning. No provisioning, no readiness. No readiness, no military. No military, no defense. No defense, no United States of America!
