There is always some creep who wants respect because he is ready to throw away other people's lives. Don't expect any from me.

I don't need respect from you. The only thing I need from you is an end to your lies about me.

I am not ready to throw away our soldier's lives. You are a liar to imply that I am. Neither am I ready to promise soldiers a level of protection that cannot always and often should not be provided. What better way to bring a war to a screeching halt than to convince the troops and their mothers that they have a right to a level of protection that cannot be provided. It is not cruel and unusual punishment to require soldiers to do their duty in unarmored vehicles, and if we allow that notion to take hold we cannot prosecute the war.
