How can we send the Army's Charlie co.126 in Germany to Iraq with equipment & soliders that aren't qualified

Question

Many Sergeants and others are willing to talk about this. Out of 18 bradleys, 3 are in working order,and out of those 3 one was tested by a Sergeant that has passed many target practices, and his Brandley didn't hit ONE TARGET,but was passed at 100%. Col.J.B.Burton tells the Deparment of Defence that his Charlie co. 126 is qualified.Your'e suppose to have 75% working, they have 31%.The equipment is in the same shape as it was FEB.2005.Even Sniper Sergeant Calson is worried. All the new soliders were trained to shoot at only 350mil, when it's suppose to be 800. Charlie co. does not feel that the new soliders are ready for Iraq or any War.Sergeant Fielder went out in the field with his 12 guys in FEB.&MARCH 06 and out of those 2 mos. they went about 45 days not being productive. We are suppose to keep up the solides morale, but they need more than letters & care packages. They NEED protection& good working equipment. They are fighting a WAR,& should be #1, no matter what the cost.

Answer 1

I agree with you -There is a controversy as to how the company could be extended without having their weapons and equipment serviced and what this will do to their demeanor, knowing they aren't coming back for a while.

If you think about it, though, with all of the training our guys and gals receive, are they REALLY ever ready for what they are going to encounter over there?

This is a disgraceful situation and it is no wonder that it's happening under Bushs' watch.

I have a son and a nephew in the military, and it's a really scary situation for both parents and their loved ones.
