Obama meet the Milblogs...
Hat tip to Michael Graham in the Corner for pointing this out....
In tonight's debate, Obama charged that troops in Afghanistan actually have to [or had to] capture Taliban ammunition and weapons in order to fight, since they were sent improperly equipped:OBAMA: And as a consequence, they didn't have enough ammunition, they didn't have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.
Now, we have heard some complaints from troops, even very public ones about armor to Don Rumsfeld in 2004, but I don't think I have ever heard any complaints from the field that our troops have to capture enemy weapons in order to fight.
I think this one deserves the BS flag.
Obama attributes this to "an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon", but given the fair number of pretend/faux soldiers who have been used by the left to hype imagined sins of the military in recent years, I think I might need some more evidence.
I invite other milbloggers with better knowledge to comment....
UPDATE: In comments Donald Sensing points out: "Lieutenants lead rifle platoons, not captains. Captains command companies." A great point that I neglected to add...

In today's media environment, it is not possible for Obama's accusation to be true and we have never heard of it before.
well, there's this rifle.

Now i have to say that the concept of a Delta Force trooper haveing such a conversation with Barry Obama strikes me as unlikely. but we shouldn't discount the possibility that US troops on long duration missions cannot carry enough ammo to complete their missions and would be required to borrow som ammo and weapons from their opposition.
If you want to fact check Obama's statements, check this out:

I don’t disagree with the ability of our military to achieve military goals.
OIF was a strategic blunder for a personal vendetta (’he tried to kill my daddy’)~and we’ll still have mil personnel being blown up if we stick around 100 years like McCain wants to.
Obama wants to scale down our blunder (OIF) and upscale the Afghani operations and also in Northern Pakistan.
I’ll be voting for him in the fall.
As soon as I heard this pile of obvious inaccuracies, my first thought was Captains aren't in the positions of platoon commanders, unless maybe you have some special ops unit, then the troopers would be so resourceful, they would never have allowed themselves to leave for combat in such bad shape.
But...if the Captain is a real person, not CPT "Jessie MacBeth," then he shoud be courts martialed for not standing tall in the face of his chain of command and making sure they we far better supplied/equipped as reported.
Then, to top it all of, I'm not voting for a "supply sgt-in-chief" in November 2008...
