"The conditions are: 1) I can show that snipers are receiving this equipment, and 2) that they in fact are in need of this stuff. AND, the bet is not for $100. Read my post. The bet is for the same amount that I have already donated. I sent a NIB Leica 1200 directly from Bear Basin to this outfit. I paid $500 for it. THAT'S the bet."

No the bet is $100 usd, not what you have been ripped off. The magic part of your statement and the one that you will have a hard time with is #2) "that they in fact "ARE IN NEED" of this stuff"

I will be waiting

"you donate the same amount to AAS I already have"
That is pretty simple to understand. The bet is for $500. However, I can already see that you are backing off from putting your money where you mouth is. Not surprising. You make baseless derogatory statements about an organization and then are not ready to back up your words. Why are you so afraid to put $500 on the line? If you are so confident in your previous flippant comments about AAS, you should not feel the least bit nervous about betting $500, or even $5,000 for that matter. In fact, if you're right, you stand to make $100. Seems like easy money for you. However, the fact that you are now trying to change the conditions of the bet tells me that you recognize that your original comments were unwaranted and immature, but are now not man enough to admit it.

"If they're not being given the right gear in the first place, why should I have to do it?"

You don't have to, but some of us want to. Sure the military should fix their supply system, but meanwhile, while it's getting fixed, there's a war on.

As to what becomes of the donated items, I say let the folks who used them bring them home if they're not needed later on. They are gifts after all.

I wonder if there were folks stateside during WWII who wouldn't donate to the scrap metal drives because it was the government's responsibility? Probably, sad to say.

To get the answer

To get an offical answer I have sent an email directly to Chief Master Sergeant Brownhill, the Master Chief of McDill, AF Base. I have asked him to look into this matter and to vist the site and this thread and to also talk with JAG and any other points that can verify the information. I also asked about legallityof shipping weapon related items to the troops. I will await his email response unless he answers directly to this forum as himself, with his phone and official address. Enough effort expended on this topic at this time.

Got my challenge coin in the mail the other day. I'm impressed. It's larger and thicker than the Army challenge coins I'm used to though.

I donate to this fund every payday. It's called taxes! If the military is not getting enough then they can take some money from the NEA or the Dept. of Education or from any other nonconstitutional use and give more to the military.

If this is not a scam it is pathetic.
