Ok let me restate my previous question: Why is the Army not supplying silly string if soldiers need it?

Question

I understand why they need the silly string. My question is why the hell does it need to be donated? Why isn't it supplied? It's simple and cheap. Why is there a need for a drive to donate supplies that the soldiers need to stay alive? That was my question.

Answer 1

well...

its because the soldiers identified the item as something that could be of use in locating potential booby traps...not the army's research and development.

and to add something to the military supply system is like making a baby elephant...there's a lot of huffing and puffing but it takes almost 2 years to see any results. the mother just cut across a lot of red tape, and gave them what they could use to make their lives a little safer.

Answer 2

yeah and after haliburton gains the rights, they can put letters on it and start selling it of at 25 bucks a can.

For anyone not informed, haliburton types the letters of a unit on their towels offered to the soldiers, and for that increase the cost drammatically for a simple wash cloth.

Okay, an secondly..Im guesing that the question post person never served in the military.
For as to make something like silly string standard combat issue, is unrealistic. Like 550 cord, that should be something every soldier has, or 100 mph tape...its something that could be considered as basic standard issue.
But remember each unit has a supply budget, that could be handled through that.

Theres much more factors in preparing a soldier then silly string and cords ties and tape.
So, do your job and sponsor a soldier by sending some cans of this "hottest topic" and leave the military planning and preparation and suppling concerns to the people that are out there.

I cant stand people who hear things, and make it their own personal quest to fix, especially when they know absolutely nothing about the topic theyre trying to contribute to.
It does more harm then good.

That one lady who started all this actually did something, by raising donation money and actual cans to send.
Why dont you go about doing something like that, instead of trying to dispute basic combat loads for our troops.

If anything, get the marines better k-pots.

And if you dont have a clue what a k-pot is, you have no right talking about anything that deals with soldiers supply

Answer 3

the 1st area of Genesis shows that the earth could have existed for BILLIONS of years in the previous the 1st Genesis “day,” yet it does not say for the way long. whether, it does describe what earth’s situation became into purely in the previous that first “day” began: “Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there became into darkness upon the exterior of the watery deep; and God’s lively rigidity became into shifting from edge to edge over the exterior of the waters.”—Genesis one million:2.

Answer 4

Halleburton is attempting to buy the rights but the new Democratic Congress is dragging their feet on the Anti-Trust investigation.

You DO remember they ARE the only supplier out there and they don't got the rights yet!
