edwin hubble you have no freaking clue what hoops must be jumped through to prepare a vehicle for redeployment back to CONUS.

USDA inspectors require every speck of alien nematode-bearing dust, every clod, every streak of dried mud to be pressure-washed out of every nook and cranny to keep crop-blighting bacteria from crossing the ocean. Entire Chemical Decontamination companies were worked to exhaustion redeploying from OIF I. Quite a bit less Decon capability is available in theater now.

Spend some time under a tank holding a fire hose. Until you do, don’t expect to be taken seriously by those who have.
