You don't get the point. The question is irrelevent. What is important is the selective USE of the question by the lyin' PoS who make up the RATmedia. Provision of appropriate armour is the least of its concerns at the top of which is the desire to undermine the President. THAT is why the soldier was prepped with the question not ANY concern for the safety of our soldiers.
What reaction of the media? Reporting the positive reactions of the troops when the question was asked to Rumsfeld?
