What truth? I accept the Humvees may be on their way. But does that somehow nullify the fact that not all of these 'uparmored' Humvees are not already there? Or somehow nullify the soldier's question?

When do you think the trouble with the Humvees was first known?

One word: Mogadishu. Why did any Humvee leave the factory without Armor after 1993? Why was the military starved in the 90s?

Bush deserves to take heat, but the real question is "How did we get here?"

I took the time to read the posts and up the chain a bit - it states that the ones that are not 'uparmored' are used only on the base and NEVER sent off base.

The troops use the 'uparmored' ones off the base.
