The unmitigated gall of Rumsfield

Rummy's take on lack of armor to protect our troops?

"You can have all the armor in the world on a tank and it can (still) be blown up," Rumsfeld said.

So, the administration position is that because armor can't protect you in all cases, it isn't necesary?

Just another example of the world view of the people who cut down trees to prevent forest fires...

rumm-face has got a good point there.
also, armor weighs ya down so yer more likley
to get hit. also, armor tends to lock in perspiration so yer all stinky... so yer telegraphing your moves to the enemy unless yer upwind. plus (for all you female cadets) it makes you look fat. maybe they should make a queer eye for the G.I. instead of armor, just a tanktop like rambo and skin tight pants, or better yet a red bandana, and biker shorts. that whole combat fatigue thing is pase anyways. send our guys out naked! ever since the abu ghraibe thingy th iraqi's have been in more fear of cornholin' than death anyways. im glad capt whatshisname didnt resgin! we need him now more than ever!
