And who voted against the $87 Billion? What a great opportunity for reminding the American people that Kerry would not fund the troops.

If Kerry got his way, the troops wouldn't have the latest body armour. This shows that his is the wrong person for the job, when he will put his political career before the safety of our troops.

To increase the amount provided for the Army for procurement of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, to require an Army reevaluation of requirements and options for procuring armored security vehicles, and to provide an offset.
