Thanks to the Media hype and the political nature of the people that represent us; we now have to much armor in Iraq.
Some Marines Declining Extra Body Armor
We have to climb over walls and go through windows,” said Sgt. Justin Shank of Greencastle, Pa. “I understand the more armor, the safer you are. But it makes you slower. People don’t understand that this is combat and people are going to die.”
The hard cold facts of life as told by Marines all over the world. But the media wants to make the public think that the military/administration doesn’t support or work for the safety of the Americans in harms way. hence what the media is trying to get out is that the Administration is evil and that we need to do everything to protect our armed forces (bring them home)….
The media will repeat something as often as possible to make it true in the publics eyes, even after it has been proven false
Since the insurgency erupted in Iraq, the Pentagon has been criticized for supplying insufficient armor for Humvees and too few bulletproof vests. In one remarkable incident, soldiers publicly confronted Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld about the problem on live television.
Evil Marines don’t know that the armor is trying to protect them…
“Before you know it, they’re going to get us injured because we’re hauling too much weight and don’t have enough mobility to maneuver in a fight from house to house,” said Bain, who is assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. “I think we’re starting to go overboard on the armor.”
There is good people using them because they offer more protection.
“I’m sure people who … lost kidneys would have loved to have had them on,” said 2nd Lt. William Oren, a native of Southlake, Texas, who wears the plates. “More armor isn’t the answer to all our problems. But I’ll recommend them because it’s more protection.”
And now for the cold hard TRUTH of the matter as told by a Marine on the ground
“The reason they issued (the plates), I think, is to make people back home feel better,” said Lance Cpl. Philip Tootle of Reidsville, Ga. “I’m not wishing they wouldn’t have issued them. I’m just wishing that they wouldn’t make them mandatory.”
And this is the media at work in our military. All of our Men and Women in the military should be provide the best weapons, the best armament, and the best intel to distroy the enemy. the media wants Americans to believe that only liberal governments want this, and not the current evil administration.
President Bush is just to manly! Get Real bitch
