DISH OF THE DAY


First you lead us into unnecessary war, in spectacularly Orwellian fashion. Then you manage to secure no-bid defense contracts for your favorite cronies. Good, good. But then it turns out some of the no-bid products don't work very well! Like the body armor, for one! So you essentially tell your men, "If you didn't want to die in a desert, you shouldn't have followed us to war," which at least was true, even if it didn't really address the problem.

But wait! What now? Some of the families are pooling money together to buy the top-of-the-line body armor that the army, you know, might want or have at a later date. This stuff is tough. Like, it's been known to absorb nine rounds of heavy ammunition with minimal damage - and with the infantryman not even feeling it. Clearly a change needs to be made, and you know just what it is: threaten disciplinary action against all who refuse to wear the no-bid, inferior armor, and deny them their SGLI Death insurance.

Well done, Soldier.

You truly are an army of one.
