75. "No one goes into theater without being issued the current standard."
Although you have made good points, you fail to convince me otherwise. Mainly because I know what I am told by soldiers whom I personally know. But if "No one goes into theater without being issued the current standard," why did so many families have to shell out the money for body armor for their loved ones. It's not unusual for military personnel to buy their own gear. Hell, I preferred paying for my own boots because the standard issue weren't as nice as the ones I liked and felt more comfortable in. But if there are soldiers doing without, isn't that an egregious mistake in the planning process which lead to our going into Iraq based on fabricated intelligence?
