About 40% of post May casualties are from IEDs. Around 30% or so of total casualties appear to be in unarmored vehicles and if results of 04 remain consistent, its likely double that. The IEDs are becoming more effective.

As to Senator Reed, which you go out of your way to disparage because he is a Democrat and from Rhode Island; note that his career in the Army at multiple levels is distinguished. His interest in its wellbeing is beyond dispute. His national guard unit took 6 KIAs in one incident in unarmored humvees which alerted him to the issue early on in the conflict.

So Cannoneer, I'll let you get back to posting your infomercials.
