Digging up the Armor issue.

[Wild Cobra]

Well, Afro man made claims of my not caring about the troops being sent to combat with what we had. Since he reopened the issue, here is a quote from an earlier posting of mine in a different thread:

Troops Reject New Body Armor as Dangerous

Last paragraph:

The senior commanders are under a lot of pressure to "protect the troops." Many people back home have invested a lot of themselves in efforts to get better armor for the troops. Hearing that the troops value lightness and speed, over armor and more weight, will upset some politicians and pundits. But if the opinions of the troops counts for anything, weight matters, often more than anything else.

Have you ever been in the military, have to carry a weapon, rations, grenades, wear armor, etc. in the desert?

I have stated in the past that the HUMVEE is not designed as an armor vehicle. We have the M113 for that:

i remember when you were happy that certain soldiers didn't have proper armor.
