United Airlines has lost Military Equipment

A friend of mine that has just flown into Kuwait to serve in Iraq has phoned home to tell us that all of his equipment has been lost by the Airline. This equipment includes weapons, Ammunition, Uniforms, Kevlar, Gas Masks, etc. He is currently in Kuwait with nothing but his carry on bag and the uniform he wore on the flight over.

I would not report this except it has been two weeks since he has been there and they still have not found the equipment. Imagine what could happen if the uniforms ended up in the wrong hands.

so where are these weapons and gear? who has them now?

In the wrong hands? You can buy this equipment just about anywhere, hehe.... I wouldn't be so worried, and I would think that he'd be reissued equipment....

not a big problem a terrorist can get that stuff cheap in other places...

Imagine what someone could do in a U.S. Army uniform, if they had something sinister in mind.

You mean like invading Iraq?

Ever hear of army surplus stores? Totally available to the public...and weapons and ammunition are a constitutional right hear in the good ol' US of A
