What. In. The. Hell???
REPORT: The soldiers are charged with stealing more than $1 million worth of equipment, such as flight helmets, communications headsets, body armor and medical supplies, according to a Justice Dept. news release issued Thursday. Two of the men are charged with selling some of the equipment to customers in Russia, China, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Mexico, among other nations.
“The actions of the soldiers charged today should in no way stain the honor of the brave men and women who proudly serve in our country’s armed forces and selflessly give everything to protect America’s freedom,” U.S. Attorney David Rivera said. “To the contrary, we never want to allow the illegal and self-serving actions of a few to cast a shadow on the thousands of military heroes who every day place themselves in harm’s way to protect this great nation.”

That is treason and they should all be dealt with accordingly. When I was over in Korea (1960's) I was in ADA artillery. We had a case of the battery commander at one of the outlying batteries getting caught selling a NIKE HERCULES missile to the NK. He disappeared in a hot flash after the CID busted him. Maybe that found a nice rice bunk for him in Pyong Yang.

CPO Andy Carrillo, MS
PVT Mark Brown WTF??? Did he have the missile in the trunk of his car? How do you sell a freakin' missile, 1/2 down for the pink slip and the rest on delivery? What are these idiots thinkin--wait, they're not. Are you sure he wasn't just scammin' the NK into believing he could actually sell it to them? SMH...

Probably shouldn't have taken the biz international quite yet eh? Hindsight is 20/20. Redefine the business model, consolidate leadership, streamline operations, and try again in a few years. Remember, focus on your domestic markets first!
