Stupid is as stupid does, or writes, in this case. I'm talking about
what I *know,* you are the one translating my facts into your politics.
All the info mentioned below comes from this massive tome I have next
to me, it's a collection of all kinds of conceivable articles, reports, and
flowcharts and is a general "intro" to the military world that everyone
who starts working for the company must read.

Not that I feel obligated to backup my claims to an ignoramus such as
yourself, but I shall (yes, I am rather grumpy this morning). See below.

Everything above are paraphrased snippets (and a direct quote actually) of
Rear Admiral (ret.) Carl Seiberlich's report: "Military Deployment and
Commercial
Transportation Services: Survey of an Evolving Partnership" which was
carried in full in Transportation Research News vol 231, April 04.

The above fact comes from "DoD's Supply Chain Mandate: From Factory
to Foxhole" which was carried in Supply Chain Management Review,
May/June 04.

No, they're all quite accurate; in fact, I could grind out even more
outrageous
facts, but why beat a dead horse?
