n the desert, bottled water is a real convenience. But it can quickly become a toxic
weapon if it falls into the wrong hands. During distribution from the bottling plant
to you, the bottled water won’t spend every minute under the Army’s watchful eye.
That could give the enemy an opportunity to tamper with water supplies.
