between sacrifice and waste? Surely we are operating on both sides of it in this ill-considered adventure.

Why, is this time period any different of other times?

Crap, is always and smells the same....so quit pissing and moaning and get the job done. jeeezzzzzs

I rememebr having no batteries, blankets, covers, and/or generators for jeeps to move around all the stuff we did have. Spare tires, nuts&bolts, swap and trade with other armed services for clothes, boots, welding rod, etc. as a matter of course. Of course we expected to have enough beans, bullets and banages, but the other stuff something was less than perfect. Duh...
