Don’t let it bug you. Half of that article is the reporter quoting left-leaning sources and inserting his own insinuations. The most important nugget of information is the statement from the Army. Contracts in perfect peacetime can go haywire for a variety of reasons, often on a personal level. You wouldn’t believe how the plan is thrown out the window after first contact with the client and the contractor.
Lowry’s forwarding of Casey’s talking points was a smart thing to do: if fourteen or fifteen out of eighteen provinces are stable, making conclusions based on one contractor’s decision is erroneous. Typical MSM scare.
