Congrats Mini. You managed to make another thread about you, and your well on your way to rythmic chanting about Kerry.

Congrats. You have added your usual value.

Hey! Scuzzy, you see that?

Mini said "scathing diatribe"

My momma would smack me for that kind of talk.

Actually... you made it about me. Congradulations.

And... to be honest... this thread wasn't really much to begin with. But then, you knew that.

Birt, a former chief warrant officer, and the others were charged with theft, destruction of Army property and conspiracy to cover up their crimes. Birt said he and two others pleaded guilty and the other three were convicted. All received six-month sentences.

I think this is what the Army is up in arms along with lying about it to cover it up.

This charge makes me think they did destroy the vehicles as the Commander states.

Yup I felt sorry for these guys right up until I read this line:

"Instead of taking the trucks back to their rightful owners, the first thing was erasing the identity marks and dumping them off at bases," Wicker said. "They destroyed it. They did the enemy's job. ... Those trucks could be used for other units."

And you have to do something really fluffied up (or refuse Art.15/NJP) to get a courts martial.

the problem is that by recycling these abandoned vehicles they really put a cramp in the ability of some contractor to make a buck replacing them.

had they not cut into someones profits they likely would have had no problem.
