Support The Troops
Remember this December 8, 2004 incident:
One soldier, identified by The Associated Press as Army Spc. Thomas Wilson of the 278th Regimental Combat Team, a Tennessee National Guard outfit, asked Rumsfeld why more military combat vehicles were not reinforced for battle conditions.
“Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to uparmor our vehicles?” Wilson asked.
Well, it’s still the standard operating procedure in Rumsfeld’s Department of Defense.
In Bushworld, Support The Troops is a dodge and a bumper sticker, not policy.
