4. Parents quoted on how dangerous the mission was
Soldiers "concerns were raised in an appropriate manner" but they were LEGITIMATE, according to the commanding officer, who has ordered a safety maintenance review.

7. Lets see, load of contaminated fuel, refused at one base, returned, sent
out again with trucks that can't make 40 MPH? So how many bases were they gonna try to pawn the bad fuel off on?

How come the fuel was contaminated to the point that it had been refused?

Who the fuck would give the orders to keep driving bad fuel around in poorly preforming trucks (more bad fuel?) in a friggin war zone?

Is Halliburton/subsidaries giving orders to the US military?

Are more of our troops gonna get to see F9-11?

8. Statement: "No sir, YOU deliver that fucking fuel."
We'll stay back here where there are no rocket propelled grenades.
