I have a question - is there any truth to the story in the first place? Are our soldiers being sent into the fight without the appropriate (and what is suppose to be standard-issue) gear? If so, why?
If not - then this woman needs a muzzle and a swift kick in the neither-region.
I know about the Hummers and the lack of armor - and there is a reason - it slows them down a whole lot, and causes them to wear out much faster.... But on the other hand, our folks have had to improvise armor in cases where they had none, but should have.
It seems to me that if she is buying needed helmet inserts for troops, or encouraging them to have them - fine.
Army's had the liners for years. Marines aren't so lucky.
