Good news and bad
Posted by

The jerk working for an on-line mattress discounter who sent a nasty note back to a soldier in Iraq about the soldier's request to buy mattresses so he and his buddies wouldn't continue to provide midnight snacks for the sand fleas has been fired.
Now the bad news:
No one in the chain of command responsible for the fact that those soldiers didn't have Army-issue mattresses has been fired, or will be fired.
Neither, of course, has any of the people responsible for providing inadequately armored vehicles, obsolete body armor, and other logistical outrages.
