The empty tent & the announcements reminded me of; in Kuwait at the wash rack, I learned that the army "saves" shipping costs by considering equipment as FIELD LOSSES & throwing things away, that weren't mission critical or sensitive items, instead of cleaning it & bringing it back to the states. This episode (& show) had lots of "field losses", but they don't use it in the episode where the kitchen loses eating trays & Klinger & Hawkeye have to trick Margrett. Father says in that episode "It will all even out in the end" that is mostly true... we were never thieves, we were just getting our stuff back from the people who borrowed it without asking. LOL Supply is a love hate relationship, mostly hate when getting out... You signed for it, they want it back or pay... in the states it is very hard to get a "field loss" wavier & equipment is not cheap. $300+ for a cracked ACH helmet & $60 for NBC wet weather gear, even though it got ripped by a power washer stream in country. BIG GREEN WEENIE
