Reply #9: The troops get nothing... [View All]

[femrap]

I was speaking to the mother of a soldier in Iraq. Her son must buy his own uniform at a cost of $250.00 each!!! She is constantly sending boxes of underwear, socks, etc. because the Pentagon charges her son so much for these kinds of items.

Oh...and the troops are required to have these special sunglasses and they cost $80...they break very easily. She has bought 3 pair of them already.

It's a DISGRACE.

I wonder who has the contract to make the soldiers' uniforms??? And I bet they're made in China by poor peasant women who are forced to work 16 hours a day for a pittance. It sickens me.
