It is a crying shame that our USA "Troops" don't have the proper "Armored -Vehicles" they need to help protect them in that Road Bomb infested Iraq country! Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said we (USA) went to war with what equipment we had on hand! Well, it seems that was/is not good enough. Now seeing all the Road bombs that have killed so many of our troops needs more agressive thinking! Armored "Kits" to quickly add on to the existing vehicles should be in the works being manufactured in hundreds of USA companies. Then it should/would only take a matter of a few weeks or so to upgrade all the vehicles!
(Side note: I just read where "Rumsfeld" had a "rubber-stamp- signature" on the condolence letters he sent to the families of the over 1000+ troops killed in Iraq! Doesn't he have a conscience?) :-5
