VOTEVETS: The Flack Jacket Ads

@ Booley:

He didn't, he asked that question while working as a mechanic at Camp Buering, which is in Kuwait.

My stepdad had to procure his own bodyarmor before being deployed, because he was told they didn't have enough to go around. How long do you think we can keep this war going for? What happens if we get attacked by China or Russia while 90% of our national gaurd is away securing oil?

Yeah, those flak jackets are the same ones we had when we deployed there in '90 and '91. They're really only useful for shrapnel, not direct fire. Today those things are outmoded and outdated. Burns deserves everything he's getting now.

Remember when one of the soldier sin Iraq asked Rumsfeld abotu the "Hillbilly armour" they had been given?

Remember how the right smeared that soldier as a 'tool of the left" today he 'd probaly be accussed of not really having fought in Iraq.
