[M1928A1 Thompson]

The pound on post is run by the Veterinairan, so it does come under the MEDDAC, Still using HIPPA as a dodge is a real stretch. I wonder which JAG came up with that one?

But since the post is now commanded by the ultimate in staff weenies, U.S. Army Accessions Command, I don't hold much hope for an honorable solution. But the Army did pull a similar stunt with a 1904 Maxim gun stolen from a New Jersey VFW. When it turned up years later in the museum at West Point, the Army refused to return it. Look up Wheaton v. Caldera. The ATF testified that the NFTR was never intended to reunite stolen property to the owner.

Did you notice there is no longer an American flag flying over Brooks Field? I have been associated with Ft Knox for 40 years and this is the first time there has not been a flag there.
