Aw come on Tom..

If the guy had made a coached anti Rumsfeld or anti-war statement, I would agree.

The question was about armor and the reaction was supportive. If the armor is a non-issue the answer would have resolved the issue. Nothing abstract here.

The best answer I have heard is that we fight with the army we have not the army we wish we had. We fought in Europe with inferior tanks in WWII. That was an issue then and remains a subject of interest today.

IMO if our guys need more armor we should provide it, even if we have to write a bad check or overcharge our visa card. If it takes an embarrassing question to get the ball rolling that's okay as well.

        The point for me is that it's been known for quite a long time, and is still a problem. - Mary Anne - 12/9/2004 10:27:42 PM

        and in your reserved, unbiased and critical mind- how the hell could it not be a weapon? Oh, I see. Not reporting it! Yes, thats clearly the only way the media can be unbiased. Not report the bad stu… (n/t) - Davin L. - 12/9/2004 7:13:02 PM
