Or, I wonder how many HMMWVs that much money could armor.

Ooooooh.......I think you just outted yourself.

Using leftist talking points isn't a good idea (around people who know what they are) if you're trying to disguise yourself as a conservative.

Using leftist talking points isn't a good idea

Leftist/Rightist doesn't matter if its true. The government has not maxxed out the capacity of the manufacturers to produce more armor -- it simply hasn't allocated the funds.

Whether it's armor or any other duty that the government is constitutionally required to do, this money could have been used better. I'll use a more right example: How many more border guards could we have hired to stop the illegal aliens?
