Just saw a general on the Daily Show say he had never seen troops in Iraq, in the 13 months he was there, not receive the equipment they needed when they needed it.
Really?
'Cause about a year ago I interviewed a homecoming soldier who descibed fighting amongst his fellow soldiers in the scrap heap like a bunch of old ladies at an early morning underwear sale for any useful sheet of metal. The victors would drag whatever they could back to base and weld the damn things to their vehicles as makeshift armor.
This happened every time new scrap came in. And scrap came in a lot. You know why? BECAUSE THE FREAKING VEHICLES WEREN'T ARMORED.
So, yeah. There's that.
