Who’s “Thompson”? And what’s “being sold on online”?
Sale of Cdn. military uniforms online sparks investigation
Canadian Press [via National Post]
Published: Tuesday, March 14, 2006TORONTO—The military is investigating how uniforms and equipment that is issued only to Canadian soldiers is ending up for sale on the Internet, CBC News reports.
The sale is also raising concerns about the security of troops.
“We’ll be looking at all aspects right through and including the supply chain,’’ Capt. Mark Giles of the military’s National Investigation Service told CBC News.
Military investigators believe many of the items being sold on online may have been stolen by soldiers or civilians working in the supply chain.
The big worry, however, is who is buying the uniforms and why.
“It could mean that a potential attack is coming with insurgents who are disguising themselves as Canadian soldiers,’’ said Thompson.

That being said, maybe the military were simply trying to raise cash for bullets, said Williams.
