WTF Jack?

"According to its annual audit the U.S. Army employes 18 full-time "combat candlestick makers."

---What the hell does that mean, we have our boys making candlesticks during combat times? I wonder how you get that MOS when entering the Army. You would have to feel pretty bad about yourself if you landed that job, but odds are youd never see any combat time, unless of course candlesticks are needed on the front lines. Maybe this is why we are losing the war, we are 18 soldiers shy of making it happen because they are dedicated to making candlesticks.

Candlesticks....what?---
