Received June 25 Subject: RE: Wrong Lubricant, Jammed Weapons, Dead Soldiers All, When reading all this great (mis)information coming back from Iraq, DO NOT believe what you read. I, Dave Skeldon and COL Padgett were at the 507th on the 19th. What happened to their weapons was not lubricant related.
