I WATCHED AND WONDERED ALSO.

I guess there's no field tent big enough to work under.

Subject: [MV] I don't understand!!!!!!!!

Since everyone is talking about the war, I saw something yesterday that I
can't figure out.

Saw news report with reporter who was giving a report during a sand storm.
He was wearing drivers goggles and in the back ground were some mechanics
working on the engine of a Bradley IFV.

I've never been in a sand storm, but I understand that the sand will work
it's way into EVERYTHING. I can't see how they could keep it out of an
engine.

I also understand that in combat you have to do what you have to do and make
repairs when and where you can. But I can't see how they could expect that
engine to last even a few days. I guess changing the oil daily for a few
days may help.

Someone please explain what I'm missing.
Thanks,
Keith
