Teresita,

Yes, that is what I am telling you. Not just me, either. Anyone who has been on an operational deployment can tell you that unless you are on Roto zero or the last Roto your major equipment stays in place. How much sense would it make to ship thousands of vehicles back and forth across the world every year or so.(Think of the carbon footprint for goodness sakes! (sarcasm))

The washing is done in theater to prevent bringing contaminants back to the continent so washing them here would kind of defeat the purpose, no?

You ignorance of such matters is not surprising but your unwillingness to listen to those who know is astounding.
