[Grovenet] Where's the Commander-In-Chief?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

"...the Pentagon is accused by US auditors of losing track of 190,000 AK-47
assault rifles and pistols given to the Iraqi security forces,...

...The report comes from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) which is
an independent US government agency that is essentially the watchdog and
investigative arm for the US Congress. 

The GAO says that, of some 185,000 assault rifles and 170,000 pistols that
the Pentagon says it supplied to the Iraqi security forces, it can account
for less than half: there is a discrepancy of 110,000 in the case of AK-47s,
and 80,000 pistols. 

The gaps in the figures for body armour and helmets are even bigger - only
80,000 out of a total of 215,000 sets of body armour accounted for, and only
25,000 out of 140,000 helmets."

Just which army are our tax dollars equipping?
