    700 hundred trucks per day delivering 300 million gallons of fuel with over 50 million miles logged.

    The drivers make 3X the normal trucker pay and the job is completely voluntary and the drivers are civilian.

    And were are supposed to understand that this particular incident about 17 people has any relevance in relation to the big picture, in relation to what has been done in order to protect our drivers.

    How many truckers have died? 17. Assuming 300 days as a conservative guess, that is 210,000 missions with 17 deaths.

    Just absolutely astounding what people will post to support their agenda. Really turns me away from their cause.

    Guess you missed that, eh?

    I agree.

    I agree.
    No I didn't. Why would the Army treat it's people any differently? It does not change the concept. Nice attempt to make people miss the point. These supply runs have been successfully performed by civilian and military units. The case presented is an exception and not the rule. We must investigate this case further, but we must not accept family member testimony at face value, which is what the author wants us to do.

    Before you make some quip about my agenda, please explain what it is. Vague innuendo is rather childish. Ruthie's agenda is in every post and at her web site. Anti-Bush at all cost.

    Would have been nice for you to admit your bias up front, helps people to know you are really speaking sincerely and not just defending your wife

    The Army DOES treat its people differently from Civilian Companies...

    I would have thought that self evident

    No right to withdraw labour, lower wages by far for the same job, Extra Regulations and Laws to be considered, a lot more "Bosses" per employee, Discipline, usually worse equipment, and the Employer has less responsibility for the safety of servicemen... I mean, where are they actually similar?


    Congratulations Scrogg and Ruthie... I didnt know you'd tied the knot..

    And also... to vdcc on his 102nd Birthday?

    ROFL. It has already been discussed through another thread that we are indeed, a couple. I don't need to be defended. You obviously know of our website..which Scroff put together. Anyone checking the site knows this, so let's not pretend there were veils of secrecy..like the Bush administration. ROFL
