Apparently, some soldiers and a couple of civilians. Have been caught selling items on Ebay.

The United States Attorney’s Office for Middle Tennessee indicted six Fort Campbell soldiers Oct. 6 for allegedly selling more than $1 million worth of military equipment they’d stolen from the base to buyers on eBay. The feds say the soldiers stole sensitive items, including body armor, sniper optics and flight helmets and sold them to anonymous bidders — some they say were in foreign countries.

Four sergeants and two specialists were named in the indictment, along with two civilians who the Justice Department says helped the soldiers resell the gear to foreign buyers, including flight helmets to Russian buyers and night vision helmet mounts to buyers in China and Mexico.
That's just dumb.

I agree, I fail to see how they managed to get away with that much before being caught.

Can't say as it's a new story. It is amazing that solidiers still do this and attempt to get away with it. Eventually someone takes notice.
The first to bring you the MRE pizza stone.
