Stealing From the Troops

I'm sure most of you either saw or heard about this story already. It seems that some 13 asswipes working in the cargo area of San Francisco's airport made a habit of going through the packages marked to our troops on Okinawa, stealing laptop computers, digital cameras, DVD and CD players, game units - you name it, these feces with legs stole it, to the tune of $200,000 or so.

Considering who is stationed on Okinawa, I'd say there's a good chance that a chunk of those stolen articles would have been earmarked for the Marines stationed there.

Since the maximum that any of these will face in 5 years and $250,000 fine, I have a better idea. I know what Marines do with thieves - or at least what they used to do. When I was in, if the thief was able to walk without assistance by the time he got to the Company Commander, the rest of us would be in the shit! Thieves had a really bad tendency to fall over foot lockers - a lot.

Just send these bright sparks to Kadena. If they could make it past the Flyboys, the Marines should be able to take care of the rest.
