Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway wants to know who authorized the costly purchase of the nearly 30-pound flak jackets and has ordered the Marine procurement officers at the Quantico base in Virginia to halt the rest of an unfilled order, FOX News has learned. More smoke in mirrors. The dispute now is how many Marines were killed unnecessarily because USMC Major General Hejlik's request for MRAPS was not fully filled by USMC Commandant Conway. Conway did a bragging interview on C-Span in early December (dec 5th I think) where he announced he saved $2 Billion by cancelling much of that acquisition order. I can dig out the interview if needed. uw
