Yeah but "freedom is on the march"!!

This has been going on for a long time. There were reports of improperly outfitted soldiers dating back to vietnam. At least during ww2 they has some semblance of an excuse for being short on supplies. And Rummie is a complete dick for his take on the whole thing...you go to war with the army you have not the army you need, or something equally stupid and criminal. And as for the armor that's not on the humvees and other vehicles, it's not a problem with supply since the manufacturers have stated that they can ramp up production but the military is not ramping up the orders. War on the cheap and it's still breaking the bank. Anyone think they actually want to win??
bonsaiguy Reviewed by bonsaiguy on . No more free rides say's Government! The last time 1st Lt. William ??Eddie? Rebrook IV saw his body armor, he was lying on a stretcher in Iraq, his arm shattered and covered in blood. A field medic tied a tourniquet around Rebrook??s right arm to stanch the bleeding from shrapnel wounds. Soldiers yanked off his blood-soaked body armor. He never saw it again. But last week, Rebrook was forced to pay $700 for that body armor, blown up by a roadside bomb more than a year ago. Rating: 5
