"We put an end to corruption in Fort Braig and those who use their official position to replenish their own pockets. This equipment was intended to support our troops in the fight for freedom, but Hammonds sold it to retire stylishly," said Prosecutor Michael Prosecutor Isli in a judicial release.

Christopher, who specialized in the service of weapons systems, prescribed goods through the network of logistical support of the Ministry of Defense, and then resold them or left them for personal use, reported by the Army Times newspaper earlier. The publication notes that the illegally stolen equipment varied from military sights and weapons details to night vision points and ATVs.
