This is just plain disgusting and the military should be ashamed of itself, there is no excuse for this at all...
And you thought I could never be mad at the administration.
Pentagon misses deadline on soldier reimbursement guidelines
WASHINGTON Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd says the Pentagon hasn't developed a plan to reimburse soldiers for equipment they've bought to
fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dodd says the military failed to act despite requirements in a law passed last year.
The Democrat has sent a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld asking why a reimbursement program isn't in place.
Soldiers serving in Iraq and their families have reported buying everything from higher-quality protective gear to armor for their Humvees, medical
supplies and even global positioning devices.
