I don’t know how it works in the army, but in the Navy there would have been no way any of this would have happened. We do semi-annual inspections and any missing items are reported to the division officer through the NCOs. The kid might have been at fault for losing the gear but when it takes TWO YEARS to spot the problem, that’s a failure in leadership.

There's definitely some missing information. That's what's wrong with videos like this one. It's only telling his side of the story, and everyone is jumping to the conclusion that he's being honest about this. For all we know he threw it in the trash or something stupid like that. There's a lot of possibilities with this situation.
I wouldn't necessarily assume he's being 100% honest.
