The last time 1st Lt. William “Eddie” Rebrook IV saw his body armor

The last time 1st Lt. William “Eddie” Rebrook IV saw his body armor, he was lying on a stretcher in

Iraq, his arm shattered and covered in blood.

Now he is forced to pay for the “missing” body armor. The army charges soldiers for missing

equipment. When medics rushed to save Rebrook’s life, they neglected to keep track of the bloody and

destroyed body armor. “I last saw the [body armor] when it was pulled off my bleeding body while I was

being evacuated in a helicopter,” Rebrook said. “They took it off me and burned it.”

Rebrook decided to leave the army because of his injuries. But he was informed that he could not be

discharged until he paid $700 for his “missing” armor. Rebrook scrounged up the cash from his Army

buddies and returned home last Friday.

I wonder if we will hear anything on this from the “Support Our Troops” crowd.

What Richard Perle has learned from the Iraq war:

MUNICH, Germany, Feb 4 (Reuters) – Richard Perle, a key architect of the NIKE SHOX-led war against

Iraq, said on Saturday the West should not make the mistake of waiting too long to use military force

if Iran comes close to getting an atomic weapon.
