I'm currently re-assesing my take on this story from what I've read in the NYT and at this site. Still not much info to go on, but if the commander
is relieved at her own request, that says a lot to me. Of course, she may have been pressured into it, but there's no info supporting that.
As far as the fuel being mixed with another fluid, the Army denies it, but that could mean anything. Agreed, if the POL was contaminated, the mission
would have been erroneous, and would be an unnecessary risk.
What kind of interference problems are they having with FM over there? They sure don't have LOS problems. And with talkabouts, are they worried at
all about COMSEC, or are they just willing to take the chance that comms are being intercepted?
