You guys invest like old ladies in the sense that you over analyse and ask a million questions and you still make bad investment decisions. Mike never made any statements or claims to me about quantities so I dont know what you are talking about with this 6000 units, that info never came through me. Ordering makes sense to me, the logistics of the military are contracted out in many cases, Haliburton and KBR are doing a lot of the logistics in Iraq incase you dont know about this, they even supply icecream and cookies to the soldiers. It is very likely that many of the medics in the US Military, are actually employed by private contractors, I know hard to believe and I can imagine the posts I will get for saying this, but it is true, actually as much as 40000 military contractors are in Iraq and this is not oil workers I am taking about, the pentagon is allowed to contract special service people that the military does not have trained and ready, like truck drivers, special security forces, medics, and others, and the people like medics who work within the military but are paid and employed by private companies, infact much of the pentagon itself is civilian, I have some research on this and have verified that there have been private contractor medics who have been casulties in Iraq, also that have been contracted, these people even recieve military service metals and work along side military personnel, but they are on a different pay scale, but basically work within the military. With what a doctor can make in the private sector do you really believe the US Military has thousands of Medics sitting around trained and ready to go to war at any time, no they dont, they hire them through contractors or they draft them to war, since there is no draft where do you think all the medics are from? This war is not like Vietnam or WWII, there is no draft so who are hte medics in Iraq? Volenteers? Reservists? I doubt it, private contractors, most likely. Another reason for using Private Contractors is that it keeps the troop numbers lower for Public Relations, do a little research and you may find out more about this. Another reason is that they will not be entitled to vetern benefits, this is war in 2005 guys sorry to break the news that the US military is not what you guys think it might be. Why wouldn't a medic working for the Military, as a civilian private contractor or as a US service man not order using a visa what he needs along with everything else using the NSN code numbers provided? that makes a lot of sense when you consider the individual responsibility and ability to track the goods to the person that ordered them and recieved them and is responsible for them, I think it is actually a great idea because it would cut down on things being ordered and never used, stolen, lost, and fraud etc. It would cut down on inventory problems, overstocking and understocking and allocation of goods. This method makes someone directly responsible, so I find it believable. Just my opinion. But maybe in your head you think the military orders a bunch of Fast1 and guesses who needs them in Iraq and sends each medic a bunch ever now and then, what a joke that would be. Or perhaps you think there is a big warehouse in the middle of Iraq and the medics drive over and get their supplies on demand. Think about it, this is not to hard to figure out, we are not in 1972 any more private companies deliver goods all over the world on a daily basis, overnight, even Amazon delievers books all over the world on a daily basis. Wake up guys and get out of the stoneage, of course this is possible and it makes perfect sense. Didn't any of you ever watch MASH? Even on that show they ordered supplies and were happy when the supplies arrived.
