Out of the one trillion dollar military budget I bet less than 30% goes to our actual armed forces. The rest is purely stolen and laundered.

This is nothing new. I went to Iraq in 2005 with a soft top Humvee. We sat on spare kevlar plates to protect our junk. Luckily never got hit with an IED.

distinctly remember people going around, trying to gather money to buy vests and other gear shipped overseas. I probly got the engagement mixed up.
Around the beginning of OIF There were some people buying non-issued armor because they didn't trust the military issued ceramic plate inserts that went in the IBA.

You do get that we were issued Vietnam era boots in the 90s, right?
If there's one effing thing you gotta get right, that's probably it. I know you're trolling for post count, but you didn't see some of the shite we were fed, or how bad the post Carter/Clinton recoveries were, at least for Army.

From a scene from Apocalypse Now: Why do you guys sit on your helmets? So we don’t get our balls blown off!
