AMN: A Hackettstown man was sentenced to four months in prison earlier this month for lying about the strength of steel used to make machine gun stands his company sold to the U.S. military.
The weak steel in the machine gun bipod assemblies and faulty head and collar joints caused the two-legged stands to fail when soldiers tried to use them, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark. more here
How did this guy get 4 only months? Who did he pay off in the swamp?
I personally demand only the highest quality machinegun stands. The last thing I want is my machinegun stand breaking when I’m doing some serious machinegunning.
Fucking Good!
In Canada, he would have gotten paid, gotten paid again to try to fix it, then gotten paid again to try again.
That’s my market. He falsified material certification. You don’t do that shit to the DLA
Four months?? The bastard should have gotten at least four YEARS if not lots more. That could have cost our soldiers injury or death!
Although 4 months sounds paltry, he is but one of the many who just get a hand slapped, a fine and another contract.
Rejoice in the 4 months, better or worse, however your mind works, than what the thieves usually get.
