I sense some insincerity here from Hillary Rodham Rodham. The armored humvee, equipped with two tons of kevlar armor, also would have saved a lot of lives in Iraq. This vehicle was developed after the conventional humvees were badly shot up in the Black Hawk Down raid in Somalia. That was in 1993, and the armored humvee was developed shortly after that diastrous mission.

Unfortunately for our soldiers, the Clinton Administration only replaced a small percentage of the existing humvees with the new armored humvees, so we went to war in Iraq in 2003 without the vehicles our soldiers needed for urban warfare. So indeed the safety of US soldiers was not a priority of the Clintons in the 1990s.

Plus Ms. Hillary has been on the Military committee for several years now. Why hasn't SHE done anything to solve the issue?
