If I were a higher ranking officer, I would ensure that everyone below me has plenty of water to drink before I get any. Part of being an effective leader is ensuring the safety of your own men & looking out for them.

This is strange, didn't we spend billions on infrastructure the first few years in Iraq? Why is the tap water causing dysentery?

Did you all notice that this was in 03. That was six years ago. Is this still going on? I don't think so.
