Re: Support Our Troops? Apparently not.
Bureaucracy not catching up with real world.
Colleague was mentioning how he witnessed a soldier try to turn in his bloodied/torn CVC uniform after Desert Storm, he had been wounded. CIF wouldn't accept it in that condition and wanted to charge him. Fortunately, the brigade commander happened to be standing next to him, and lit off.
What will probably happen is that the unit will file a form for combat loss, with a few sworn statements. If he's clever, he can get a hand receipt signed by the supply sergeant or CO for it, and present that to CIF to be discharged. When the combat loss is finally entered into the system, it all becomes dandy.
Wonder why they haven't thought of that yet?
