Johnny Come Lately

I can hear it now: we care about the troops.


Under pressure to speed the delivery of armor to troops in Iraq, the United States Army has awarded an emergency contract for ceramic plates to protect the sides of soldiers' torsos from insurgents' attacks, military officials said yesterday.

The move, expected to shave three months off the typical contracting process, comes amid a more sweeping effort by the Army to improve its body armor.


Then why has it taken you 2 YEARS to properly equip the troops. This is the federal government of the U.S. It can do almost anything, especially buy better armor for its troops. What the hell have they been doing? So have a drink on yourselves, but I hope it's a drink of evil.
