Apparently, now we live in the third world:
At an orientation for new arrivals, a staff sergeant walked [injured US soldiers and their families] through the idiosyncrasies of Army financing. He said one relative could receive a 15-day advance on the $64 per diem either in cash or as an electronic transfer: "I highly recommend that you take the cash," he said. "There's no guarantee the transfer will get to your bank." The audience yawned.That is beyond belief. These morons can't even handle a wire transfer? Where the hell were the Republicans that past four years of this war? Where the hell were the commanders running the military? Where the hell was George Bush?
