Brig. Gen. Peter Fuller, head of the Army office that buys soldier gear wrote: Battlefield surveys show that nearly 90 percent of soldiers are satisfied with their M4s... Fuller said he's received no official reports of flawed weapons performance at Wanat. "Until it showed up in the news, I was surprised to hear about all this," he said.

the general had probably just left his rotary meeting and was headed to "the club" for lunch and a round of golf...
and as much as i hate to agree with john bolton about anything... i share his concern about the weekend attack on the military base in pakistan due to pakistan's current ownership of nukes ... yeah afghanistan is messed up an' iran is doing every thing it can to get there, but pakistan is already there... probably much to the dismy of india i'm quite sure, and somewhat troublesome to our kommirad's in conflict in grozny... good thing that there are no "loopholes" in pakistan nuke security... good thing that indeed...
i've never really doubted the actual intelligence purporting the head of pakistan isi as the real mastermind of 9/11, as well as various and sundry nefarious activities such as the mumbai hotel attack...
