U.S. Army Ends Free Storage of Vehicles, Belongings for Deployed Soldiers
Breitbart ^ | 12-28-23 | OLIVIA RONDEAU

Deployed U.S. Army soldiers will no longer be able to store their belongings free of charge while they are away from home, the Army Sustainment Command announced Wednesday.

A spokesman for the command, which is the primary provider of logistics support to Army units, told Military.com that it was discontinuing the use of funds to store soldiers’ vehicles and other goods while they are away for prolonged periods of time.

It was not specified whether the announcement applies to all deployment types or just to soldiers on temporary duty.

The storage policy ended in October, but the order was not “widely distributed” to soldiers or the press, the outlet reported.

“We understand the burden this could potentially place on soldiers, and HQDA G-1 [The Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Department of the Army] is drafting policy that would enable such storage,” service spokesman Sgt. Pablo Saez said.

That new “policy” was only mentioned after Military.com first reached out to the Army about the issue in early December, the outlet noted.

This will attract new recruits, right?

“This will attract new recruits, right?”

My guess is they want to miss recruiting goals. Eventually they will have to rely on recruiting immigrants...or the kinds of people that would not object shooting at American citizens if ordered to do so.

Can’t imagine why they are having trouble with recruitment.

Probably the white soldiers were disproportionately being helped by this benefit.

But frankly, my dear, we don't give a damn.

You can buy a lot more things when you aren’t buying Jordan shoes.

The Army could make a few bucks selling deployed soldiers belongings.

You know they are thinking about it.

They’re obviously actively trying to reduce recruitment, I suppose so they can institute a draft.

I remember shipping my son’s car to Fort Bragg right before he was deployed to Afcrapistan and Iraq in 2003. I was sad and his mother and little brother cried. But he was able to leave it on base at no charge. Smoke is coming out of his ears about the condition of our country.

Not necessary, they won't be coming back from Ukraine and won't need any of that stuff.

Part of destroying a sovereign America for the Antichrist’s New World Order requires destroying its strong military.

Have them watch some dude in a wig “performing” 🎭🎭🎭

I think Nervous Tick had the image (IIRC)

True. They want soldiers who have no qualms about committing atrocities, like troops from Central America, Middle East, and Red China.

They need the money for government worker salaries for the Ukraine.
