Something, somebody, somewhere failed to do the proper planning for what had to take place in order to properly support our men and women in uniform.
It is inexcusable not to do the proper planning that has to be done in order to make sure that their deployment is not overextended, that they’re getting the supplies they need, that they’re getting the support they need.
It’s poor planning to wind up with your stockpiles of key weapons being depleted.
