The day that the soldier asked SecDef Rumsfeld the question regarding the armored humvees, only 20 out of over 800 vehicles had not been armored. This fact was not mentioned by the MSM at the time and has not been brought to the attention of the public since it was announced at a press conference

I still don't understand that the fact the question was planted for effect did not make greater headlines. Also everyone jumped on Rummy for it true comment of going to war with what you have, not what you want.

The MSM is no longer relevent. It sings to the A.N.S.W.E.R. diciples. Who cares. Left wing-nuts, Michael Moore idolitors, socialist and marxist fruitcakes, and the mush filled heads of the easily led, all flock together under the loving wing of the entertainment industries 'gods'.

It's rather sad to watch, but then they do deserve each other.

Thanks for posting this....nice to get some facts....of course the media will be lax in telling the public about it.

It's just too complicated........will be the response.

It is obvious that the elitist left wing lunatics in politics and the media are suffering from severe hyper reactive cases of Rummy Phobia, the new disgusting mental disorder of the lunatic left.

Rummy Phobia appears to be a secondary mental illness to the Hate GW Syndrome suffered by millions of libs from 2000 to 2004 where GW was hated and blamed for everything that happened. Now, they blame Rummy for everything that has or has not happened in the Iraqi War.

Examples of Rummy Phobia can be seen on most of the current Rummy Phobia threads on Free Republic. The Moby Trolls of the left, who claim to be the greatest conservatives ever, leave examples of Rummy Phobia all over these Rummy Phobia threads.

Those inflicted by Rummy Phobia froth at the mouth, smell and behave like rabid skunks as they try to blame everything on Rummy while calling for his head.

Okay, My unit is being replaced by the 278th and I have seen first hand their "up-armored" vehicles. Most have just sheets of metal wielded on the side that won't stop nothing. It is not the specifically designed add on armor.

And every soldier I have talked to in the 278, even the officers, think the soldier was right to ask the question.
