I realize that the story about insufficient armor on Humvees has been previously reported, but for the reservist to ask a question on the subject in front of a biased media is naive at best. The news media is not the friend it once was. This type of reporting would not have been allowed during World War Two, and is a direct by-product of the 1960s anti-American media.
A few things have changed since WWII. Among them are different attitudes.
These open forums often get questions about housing, rotations, replacement parts, general logistics, etc. IMO, this was a question that a lot of troops wished that they cold have asked but didn't.
Yeah, sure, there's one in every crowd. But I'll bet that there is more emphasis put on armor now than if the question was not asked.
Want to take me up on that bet?
