Facts Wrong

I think two tons is a bit of an understatement!!

With American troops deep in Iraq, one of the biggest challenges is keeping them supplied with fuel, water, food and ammuntion (sic). A 20,000-person division can go through two tons of supplies in a day.

To keep up, hundreds of trucks each day make the the 14-hour trip from Kuwait to forces at the front in Iraq, where they unload their supplies, change drivers, and head home again.
