Why?



  • Troops Wait for Body Armor Reimbursements



  • It is absolutely asinine to send kids into a war without the proper equipment to adequately protect them from bodily harm!

    This is completely ridiculous. Reimbursement shouldn't even be an issue. Why isn't the government providing all the necessary gear before shipping them off in the first place? I am ashamed and embarrassed that the president of this country is sending solders to fight HIS war without insuring that everything humanly possible to protect them is being done.

    What next? Should we have them pack sack lunches too? If we're not issuing a bullet proof vest along with that big gun do we next expect them to provide their own food & water? What am I saying? Maybe they are and I don't know it!

    Shame, shame, shame.

    Don't want to get started on this one.

    But hey, the rich got their tax cuts, and the oil companies got their energy bill...so why worry about some kids off playing with guns. Oy

    I think Bush is so obsessed with the war itself, he really doesn't care how we win it. Body armour for the troops just doesn't seem to be a concern. It's just all so sad. We will never see the rich or political brats fighting that war..... They send the poor to war with empty promises of education, money, etc. God Bless America!
