Well, there are those who get their political opinions from Hollywood movie stars and are inclined to "Despise The Military" for no other reason than that they *are* the military. Such individuals are often disinclined to inquire about the actual facts or to bother to understand the process that lead to these facts. So "$400 hammers" support their bigotry towards the military and that's all the further the investigation goes. Sorry - I've drifted off topic again! I guess if you're in the business, you get a little touchy when the knee-jerk accusations of thievery get started and you know this is not the case.
