Tony,
I kind of see your point now, but placing a burden or hardship on 'we the Army' may not directly lead to more involvement in repairing the National Grid.
I see our force's morale levels as low, and would not want to strain that situation more than it already is.
Perhaps better to use those generators to replicate missing local power stations (which can be attached anywhere along the grid). But then, you'll need several more generators and also need to stand watch over them. If the situation wasn't already bad enough, the hydroelectric dam is not exactly in good shape and restoring the local stations to the grid may be a wee bit late.
I find it more a question of priority and tasking. You'd be right, once the CO no longer has A/C at the end of his duty day, he/she will make electricity a priority
The Embassy is a sore point for me and for many that have had to serve 'under' State and listen to the constant whining, with or without electricity.
As for McD's and Baskin Robins, I would have to wonder if their removal now (should have never been there in the first place) would only add to the stressful and long tours our folks are enduring.
Callin' it an evening.
Regards, Stan
