Does that change ANYTHING regarding what Rumsfeld was asked? And the fact that the questioner was cheered?"""

No, but hush, you're not supposed to raise that point.

Churchy, churchy, churchy..
ANYTHING to bash the war, right?
War is inherently dangerous.
My old unit was light towed artillery.
We would have been going into battle with unarmored M1097 Humvees.
Did my unit complain abuot taht prospect?
NO.
We weren't infantry or armored cav.

It was accepted as part of the job.
Someone wants armor on their utility truck?
Get an ASV or a Stryker.

The Humvee is merely a very cross country utility truck.
It was not intiially designed for armor.
And teh industrial base that USED to produce armor is not there.
There is ONE factory left that produces steel of the grade used in armor.
If either of you think you can tool up a factory to produce armor quickly, go right ahead.
