You are completely over the top.
I can't understand why you spend so little effort looking out to see if the troops might have legitimate needs and so much effort defending Rumsfeld.
It is too bad that you can't see what these guys have to work with. Yes, they make do, but is that the best that we have to offer them, make-do equipment?
FYI, when anyone published stats on how many HUMVEEs are not armored, remember that those that stay on base don't need armor. That reduces the number of those that actually need upgrades. So no, they don't all need it. But dang, you should see the difference it can make!
Maybe you should lean more towards looking out for the troops instead of looking out for the administration.
The steady drumbeat of resistance against the war in Iraq is heard not only from Al Jazeerah, but from America's MSM as well. If you want to defend the twerps in the MSM, that's your choice.
It'd be my guess that Kevin Sites is someone you admire.
