Hackworth being the source of this story is my problem.
If there is another, credible source about this issue that backs him up, I will be the first one firing off a nasty letter to Bush, Rumsfeld and the Joint Chiefs.
It isn't that I don't have sympathy with poor conditions and the miseries caused by lazy supply-line people; it is that Hackworth has been so wrong on so many things and he has a definite animus against Rumsfeld, that I mistrust anything he prints.
Bull sh*t. The Pentagon has been going apeshit over Rummy's 'streamlined' and 'Just In Time' troop/supply movements. The man never served a day in uniform and should stick to the politico side of war.
