No you missed the point completely. My son started in an Abrams. When they downsized ,a lighter military, they put him in a Bradley. Well you can't patrol the streets of Baghdad in a Bradley so he went into a Humvee. He is a soldier. His job is extremely dangerous. I am not of the mindset that the government must be responsible for protecting us under any and all circumstances. My son is a good soldier, two bronze Stars, and he doesn't pi** and moan about everything. What exactly was your point?
