Yeah... the military will spend billions of dollars on the “new high tech weapon of the future” but when it comes to training with that weapon... the soldiers get screwed. This last month we had soldiers leave Ft. McCoy (for Iraq) who had just barely qualified (after 5-6 attempts). Why? No class on their assigned weapon. Commanders are signing off that their unit is trained when they are not. If you are in a position that you could do something about the atrocity... Freep mail me. The chain of command has failed.

Sad. Don’t the commanders write the Dear Mother and Father letters anymore when they don’t bring their guys home?
