"This is a disgrace. How could the equipment be "stolen" rom the Army when it was being used in an Army mission and never let the Army's possession."
"Get real. This is stupid!"
"You do what you have to to get the job done"
"IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THE MILITARY HAS TO SCRAMBLE THE GARBAGE TO DO THEIR JOBS AND PLAY SECURITY FOR THE LOBSTER TRUCKS LET THEM EAT THE MRE AND COME HOME SOONER"
"WHY? It takes Guts to Fight Which are lacking in high places."

"I worked with Cathy Kaus at Huffy Corporation. She is a friend and one of the most dedicated and responsible people I have ever met. We had talked about her job in the military & she was very proud of it and had nothing but positive things to say abou"
"What they did was much less criminal than what their commander in chief did to put them over there in the first place."
