>> Bolting more armor to the vehicles is not the answer, regardless of what some anti-war types say about "sending our troops off to die in thin-skinned vehicles

Let the rats and the islamists have another "victory", and kiss of a million Iraqi allies to mass graves. It worked out in the Nam, it can work again.

Extreme sarcasm = OFF
