Re: If you still think we can win in Iraq..

My SIL (who spent a year over there and may soon be deployed again) says their helmets are a joke. I have lovely pictures of a burning Humvee that he jumped out of as an explosive was thrown at it. I believe his sergeant was killed in that one. Yep, send our finest young men and women over there to fight a war in a country we'll never understand without the proper protective gear. And we're supposed to rally round the flag and be gung-ho about it? C'mon, get serious, folks.

This is unconscienable. Just beyond belief. I believe I've heard families were collecting the money themselves to buy their boys the gear (bullet proof vests or whatever it was). Unbelieveable. Send them into harm's way without the protective gear that is available.
