Military Matters
OK... Ask anyone for what the government should be using our tax dollars, and you will get the answer, "military," "protecting our borders," a general idea of keeping us safe.
1st Lt. William “Eddie” Rebrook IV, a graduate with honors from West Point, was doing just that in Iraq when he was wounded. Thankfully, though seriously hurt, he had body armor on and survived with all limbs. However, the U.S. army charged him $700 for his destroyed body armor and gear.
Listen, I love our military, but never, ever should this get to a Senate hearing where Robert Byrd can ask even one, solitary question, and thus, to the national media, making our country look inane, inept. This story is going around the world.
A country takes care of its soldiers. Our country does. Yet correcting mistakes like the one Rebrook faced should never, repeat, never, get as far as this one did. Some commander, official, whatever, should have taken this up immediately.
