The hand-wringers can't understand why the hummers aren't completely bullet proof. Well why can't the hummers fly too? The MSM keeps yelling that "the troops aren't equiped properly" and the Dems could do a better job. Who in the he11 was in charge when the Armed Forces were dismantled during the 90's.
I think that that is what Rumsfeld was trying to say last week and that he wasn't being a smart a$$, as the MSM maintains, when he said that you have to go to war with the Army you have, not the one you want.
America went to war with the Army that the Clinton administration left us.
Good points. Speaking about Rummy, when I heard him say that I looked at my wife and said, "That's not the answer he was looking for but it is accurate." It was a loaded question intended to make the Secretary look bad.
We have gone to war with the army and equipment we had at the time in every conflict in history. I know of no bullet-proof personell carriers. I know of no IED-proof transports. I do know that due to the armor our troops do have, the death-per-casualty ratio is far lower than any armed conflict in history.
Well said!
