UW, That information was broadcast on NPR, and I can only assume that they knew what they were talking about. Since they, usually, have a liberal bent, it must be the truth. I don't think that any GI is going to shirk his duty, in the first place, and especially if doing so could result in a court martial. There have been quitters in the armed forces, but they are individuals, and not a complete unit. That is just unheard of.

<<The supply vehicles have been running constantly too. They have to stand down for maintenance at some point.>> No kidding. At one point we had most of our vehicles deadlined. Besides being a driver I also was the tears (dispatch clerk), wrecker driver and the PLL clerk. That's parts clerk to you SF guys. We had most of our ambulances deadline due to cords showing on tires. I looked at two years of we need tires requests signed by a Second and a Capt. I knew with the Brigades Bird driver and mentioned it to him. Got a get it here signed by an an 06 and got a deuce and a half worth of tires. The army dosn't work like civilian life.
