According to The Voice Of Warriors website, a news report that has recently aired on CBS News about U. S. Military equipment supposedly looted in Afghanistan from our troops is factually inaccurate. The Voice of Warriors is a website which suppports our troops and corrects errant reporting when it occurs. The article at The Voice Of Warriors explains why the equipment is not what CBS claims it is. According to the article:
"Right off I see many inconsistencies with the equipment they say is stolen from US forces.
00:02 the video shows some a series of boots. Out of the three pair, two are black leather boots. When is the last time any of us deployed with black leather boots? Hell in the Marine Corps they aren't even issued; you can't wear them. The military isn't shipping black boots to Afghanistan. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, the tan boots are brand new, and are not even US issued for either the Marines or the US Army. Finally, in the frame you will see the tri-color camouflage shirt, brand new. The Marine Corps and most Army units don't issue this camouflage print any longer. Digital print is the standard. There are a few units that still have them but most don't'. CBS hasn't done their homework."
Please read the entire article, it is fascinating. All of us need to question anything we see on the news concerning our troops.
