In response to the revelation that the DoD — the people who feed, clothe, and equip the army we have, not the army we wish we had — skimped on body armor, resulting on hundreds of unnecessary deaths.
Body Armor? But You’re POOR People …:
… to reiterate my position: I don’t criticize this Administration because I’m a progressive, or I hate Bush, or I Want the Terrorists to Win ™. They are objectively bad at their jobs.
