This morning on
C-Span, they had
a parade of
Congressmen to talk
about their feelings
on Bush's plan to
send 20,000 more
troops to Iraq.
Rep. Duncan Hunter
was one of those
Congressman.
One of the callers
was an Army Reserve
Officer who made a
statement about the
actual condition of
America's ground
military - army and
marines. He
sounded very
credible to me.
Then as Duncan
Hunter responded -
first telling the
officer that his
numbers were
absolutely wrong -
but then he
contradicted himself
as he continued to
drone on.
Please do listen to
this
audio clip of the
call. Also
you can go to the
C-Span website to
listen to the entire
segment with Duncan
Hunter.
The reason I'm
writing this is
because I know that
the Military
Personnel and
Readiness computer
system is broken (my
belief is
sabotaged.. but
that's another
story).
A week ago,
CNN
reported a story
about the army
sending letters to
deceased and wounded
soldiers asking them
to return to active
duty.
The only way
something like that
happens is if the
computer system
isn't working or
hasn't been updated
properly.
Either last year or
the year before I
watched a
Congressional
Hearing concerning
the condition of the
Military Personnel
and Readiness (MPR)
department and their
computer system.
The Congress had
requested a report
of the number of
troops deployed to
Iraq. This
hearing was in early
March. The
report that the MPR
gave Congress was
current as of
November the
previous year.
NOVEMBER of the
previous year!
They should have
been able to produce
a report that was
current of the
previous DAY!
The fact that the
Army sent out
letters asking
deceased and wounded
soldiers to return
to active duty tells
me that the MPR
computer system
still isn't working
- or... as I believe
... is still being
sabotaged.
Consider the
implications of
this. The
information coming
out of government
computer system is
WRONG. They
are flying blind -
literally.
They really don't
know how many troops
they have.
They don't know how
many have been
injured and they
don't know how many
have died.
