Who is this "we" - not me - I was trying to get people to end their addiction to "authority" outside of themselves. Precious few listened and even fewer learned...How did we let this happen?
Please - speak freely - just because I'm the boss of my-self doesn't mean I'm the boss of you. I was just saying I'm not copping to being responsible for the international disaster(s) going on now, in other words, I'm not part of the "we" you noted in your post.Oops. I farged up.....I can't tell if he is mad at me or not.... sitting on the edge of my chair.....
But, I agree with you that it is quite the messy situation.Sorry, correction "I". Agree, America First!
True dat. Fact is, we cannot afford anything anymore, really.Sorry for the misunderstanding....we cannot afford to be the world's policeman.
The bill is approaching its due date. We used to believe the same thing about Mr. Smith, @Unca Walt .We are a debtor nation.
May I have the temerity to suggest the final insult? Death taxes.
Oh, my. This is beyond comprehension. Beyond any possible understandable justification. When your enlistment is up, YOU GET BILLED FOR EQUIPMENT YOU LEFT IN A-STAN!!
"Apparently the US military is charging enlisted guys for the gear they were told to leave behind in Afghanistan."
"This guy in the vid is getting out, so they gave him a nearly $4000 bill for gear that they wouldn"t let him bring onto the plane when they bugged out."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if the guys who survived Pearl Harbor got billed for their equipment when they got out of the Navy? And the guys in B-17's that got shot down... they gotta pay when they get out? And the Marines at Chosin Reservoir -- all that equipment they left...

This does not pass the sniff test. At all.
So this guy is the only one who is experiencing this? Or is this more than likely an internal paperwork fuck up because it's not like those ever happen?
Whoopsie.This does not pass the sniff test. At all.

Yeah. That's still only his side of the story.Whoopsie.
A tad of checking results in: Yup. It is exactly as the sojer says, and you may sniff deeply.
The sojer's crime? TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT THE INSULT.
Sniff -- [passes test]

Now let's go back to the skirts with dicks: HOW MUCH DO THEY OWE?? In dollars, exactly.
As Devil's Advocate: Under what circumstances would a sojer be reasonably charged for leaving $4K in issue equipment behind during an emergency evacuation?
The sojer has the right to representation under UCMJ. He is screwing himself while speaking in uniform. UCMJ is a huge hammer that identifies enlisted as nails.If you are facing a legal issue related to your military service, don't wait to get the help you need.
