Just like the feds are funding ops from the GI's operating from

my tax dollars did some freakin' good for me for a change. Cripes.
Egos be damned.
Egos? Iraq and Afghanistan. Huh?
I'm just trying to sort this out ... from what I've read, two guys who
are government contractors weasel a free trip (on Uncle Sam) to a place
where they probably shouldn't be - at least not for ham radio operating,
all in the name of "government work". About the time their little
operation gets rolling, somebody in West Virginia rats them out.
Meanwhile, the response of many of the leading DXers in the US seems to
be to "get even" with the guy who ratted the operation out with somewhat
less concern for condemning the ill-advised nature of the operation and
how this might endanger future DXpeditions.
Have I summed it up correctly or am I missing something?
