This is my first post on this MB so please excuse any possible errors in this posting.
I posted that 6:1 article on another, active, forum and it was eventually decided that it was biased and the deployment numbers were skewed.

Analyze the number of contributors and the amount of the average contribution and you too will see that it is suspect. Most soldiers simply cannot afford such large cash outlays!
Here's a link to the topic ...

I have since deleted the original 6:1 topic that I posted on the MB referenced in the above link but the dialogue is still there.
