Thanks for the input uw! It's not any wonder that most Americans don't really understand why it takes so long to supply, etc---most don't ever hear or think about things like this...Most never see it on TV or the print media. At least most of us here on SI try to keep somewhat up-to-date with conditions and events.... Re combat support: Iraq needs updated equipment...but do we pay for that too, or do they? Who supplies the pieces? Contracts for the Government take sometimes years...unless they themselves have worked for a supplier, or someone close to them has, the average person has NO clue about why hammers cost $800.+ each or other such things we hear bandied about. Government Regs take up literally ROOMS of BOOKS filled with shelves floor to ceiling with onionskin paper ..... Redundant is the word....50 million forms to be filled out for every item along each of the paths, etc etc etc..... Does Iraq pay for all the support training? Storage of equipment? etc etc... If the Congress stops funding our troops, wouldn't it just be better to withdraw immediately and not keep them in harms way? The Dem controlled Congress and Administration made those same decisions during VietNam in their non-wisdom. Those decisions caused hundreds of thousands of deaths....perhaps millions. What can we do to stop this from happening again?
