What complaining? I saw a soldier ask a question to his SoD in a question and answer session initiated by the SoD.

I don't understand? What kind of questins should be asked? SoD Rumsfeld, what is your favorite color?

In business meetings I tend to ask my boss tough questions all the time.

Instead of praising the fact we live in a country were a soldier can ask tough questions to his leadership - and praising a leadership unafraid to take tough questions from their citozen soldiers during war time - and praising the fact that our leadership is initiating those question by its citozen soldiers - we go ballistic because a tough question was asked? We want Saddam like live love fests where people clap for fear of being the first to stop clapping?

Does anyone know that the Athenians had no elected leaders. Those who voted for war would be the same ones to fight those wars. In facr if you did not fight you did not vote. Imagine the tough questions asked before Marathon?

I was in the Regular Army 30 years ago in a combat field division that is in Iraq right now. I learned atleast one thing there, like it or not, there is no free speech in the Army. You pretty much take whats poured on your plate and say "thank you".

I have no problem with somebody trying to make their situation better. I have a problem with somebody being used as a pawn by a reporter that has a political agenda.

You don't get the point. The question is irrelevent. What is important is the selective USE of the question by the lyin' PoS who make up the RATmedia. Provision of appropriate armour is the least of its concerns at the top of which is the desire to undermine the President. THAT is why the soldier was prepped with the question not ANY concern for the safety of our soldiers.

Wow. What story are you following?

I'm following a story where our troops are free to ask "tough questions" of their SOD, and asked such a question, which the SOD answered in a straightforward manner, and where the anti-American media ginned up the situation to begin with, reported it as if it were a spontaneous event, and then twisted the story to give the false impression that the SOD was embarrassed by the question and sidestepped it when what he did was answer it head on.

I'm ticked that the "journalist" exploited the NG troops and that the media, in typical fashion, has misreported the situation in an attempt to undermine our war effort.
