The troops aren't responsible for the war, and anything to make them more  
comfortable should be done.
 
I think the response from the mat company was uncalled for.  Whether  the 
person who was let go was responsible for the decision or whether it came  from 
his superiors will probably never be known, he could have been the  sacrificial 
lamb so to speak to try and save the reputation of the  company.  If he made 
that response on his or her own without his superiors  knowledge, then letting 
him or her go was warranted IMO.
 
It would seem to me that the military could furnish some type of mat for  
these troops who are in the worse regions as this one is described.  I  guess 
it's a budget thing. Budgets don't care if you sleep on the ground.
 
I'm Linda, I was on this list for a few years and dropped out.  I find  
myself with some time on my hands, and was interested in discussions as  always.
 
I lived in Tennessee most of my life but moved to Western New York a couple  
of years ago.  This is my third winter here.  I have to say the  winters took 
some getting used too.
 
I will try not to bore you.
 
Linda
