Good Ole Rummy

If Donald Rumsfeld is just going to blow off soldiers' concerns, why does he even meet with them?

My favorite part was his response to the soldier asking why the tanks don't have body armor. To paraphrase he said that you could have all the body armor in the world and still be blown up. Well using that logic Don, why not just arm our soldiers with sticks? They're just cannon fodder for your ambitions anyway.

It's bad enough that we are fighting an unnecessary and unprovoked war without international support. Could we at least use our resources to protect our soldiers? Is that really too much to ask?
