It doesn’t look like China is at fault. It looks like KBR inc and mil maintenance are the ones at fault.

It looks like, to me, that they are all at fault. Why are we buying from China for our military? Cost effectiveness?

Sort of the same reasoning that made the early M-16 so dangerous to our troops.

"Why are we buying from China for our military? Cost effectiveness?"

I don't think DOD field generators come from China. I think KBR would be the only ones to do so, and that would be under a contract to provide facilities and facilty support. There would be no difference in a Chinese generator in terms of connections, or waveform. As long as it's connected right, it would work just like any other generator.

The powder used in the ammo was changed w/o testing...
