US Military telling recruits to have their parents buy them armor

What's next, a bake sale?

Good God, what has George Bush done to our military? And you, the 70% of US soldiers who reportedly voted for Bush in 2004, do you military folks out there realize that the ONLY candidate and the ONLY media and the ONLY grassroots talking about the body armor problem in Iraq were LIBERALS? FOX News wasn't on Bush's case for not giving you the armor you needed. But Dan Rather was. Candidate Bush said you had all the body armor you needed. Candidate Kerry said that was a lie.

I'm serious about this. The GOP has screwed our military and put our troops at risk, while denying the problem from day one. It's now gotten so bad that they need to have these kids' parents buy the armor themselves, like these are their school supplies (I wonder if they make those cool yellow raincoats in kevlar?)
