HQ Weenies

Combat troops often refer to rear echelon types as "HQ weenies" or worse. There is a reason. 

Navy SEALS have recently appealed to Congress to stop the practice of the service taking their rifles when they leave a theater and giving them to someone rotating in country. As someone familiar with special ops soldiers has pointed out:

"Sharing rifles may seem inconsequential. It's not. The weapons, which are outfitted with telescopic targeting sights and laser pointers, are fine-tuned to individual specifications and become intensely personal pieces of gear."

It is truly incredible how government manages to screw everything up but this is one practice that needs to end now and the author of it assigned to supply duty in the Aleutians.
