SNAFU Strands US Army Howitzers At German Rest Stop
By Jeff Schogol

Many questions remain unanswered after German border police stopped a convoy of U.S. Army self-propelled howitzers coming from Poland on Wednesday.

German media first reported that the Polish contractors hauling the artillery in trucks broke numerous rules, including not using the right trailers for the howitzers and not having the correct paperwork for transporting overweight and oversized equipment.

At least they weren't painted desert tan as seems to be the predominate case with the Army.  But why aren't they camp painted?  Oh I forgot...the Army threw out camouflage, concealment and deception as a routine practice in Desert Storm I and has not returned to it since.
