What evidence do you have that the U.S. military would grab NVGs from whoever could supply them? I really don't believe that at all when it comes to night vision.

I'm not throwing in on the info he was spewing, just that you can't really expect MIL pers to know much about the majority of their kit.
As for the NVG supply question, from working Supply, working with the U.S. forces (Their supply guys bitched a lot about it) and the Catalogue system, through which I can view items entered into the system by other NATO nations.
