  "...it doesn't matter how much armor you have, they can still blow you up"
-Donald "I'm a total moron" Rumsfeld

...in another amusing reversal, armored and mechanized units are being 
deployed in HMMWVs instead of M1s and M2s.  Furthermore, that statement 
about, "going to war with the army you have and not the army you want" when 
WE started the war and had years to plan it, well... I'm not a fan of this 
current administration...


...like there wasn't time to develop an armored car...
