THIS is a spinoff of the "No Body Armor" election theme, nothing more.
There's nothing wrong with up armoring our own vehicles, we've been doing that since WWII
No one said it is wrong, but preparations and equipment adjustments are done in the field after an invasion has happened. When a call to arms comes some equipment may need outfitting on the fly. Rummy made that clear.
You go when told by the commander and chief and you orer parts and they catch up to you in the field.
The parts have been ordered and the vehichles will be retrofitted, in the mean time, reporters baiting Guardsmen does not excuse whiners.
Ops4 God Bless America!
