Posting quick. My Verizon BB is almost non-existant. RE: MRE whistle-blow.
It has gone to the top, and they hate my guts. Beware blowing a whistle.

It is at the highest levels of the USFS (which has nothing to do with the MREs), and at high DoD levels now (Defense Procurement). EVERYONE of them is pissed at me. These MoFos hate whistles.

They will discredit me. They will scapegoat me. Watch and wait/

They do not understand the morality behind warning the next guy to the danger of what you have just discovered.

4. Mac got glass in one of his MREs and he reported it.
No good deed goes unpunished.

7. He had eaten a government MRE made during the Bush years that had GLASS in it.
He cut the inside of his mouth as a result.

5. Back with broadband with an update
The fury seems to be at mid-levels in DC. That is good. The low levels here seem happy that I did the right thing. But I am not 100% on that either. Check six, DemoTex!

I have drilled them for two days with why the right thing is the only way. To wit: If I have knowledge of a situation that might cause others harm, I am compelled morally to report that situation. I'm worried by the downstream of questions that a coverup might be in place. And a Judas Goat hunt might be underway.

8. Stick close, my friend. Monday will bring news from DC.
Probably from the Defense Procurement Agency. My fangs are sharp.

They will not protect their buddies on this one.

10. I'm here... I may be able to call a US Senator and perhaps, no promises
bend their ear...

It worked with Katrina... not sure if it will work now.

But I can always call if that should be needed.

It ain't fun. Good luck, good buddy. :pals:

11. Thanks bud, Nick loves your support of me
I'm working up an essay on the morality that dictates many of my stands.

12. Wow! That was fast!
I wonder how many other MRE's had glass in them. Where did you get them?

Good on you for blowing the whistle...the thought of a soldier in Iraq digging into their meal and getting a mouthful of glass is frightening.
