[Madmartagen]

i think it has more to do with the military not being fully prepared or underestimating the resistance they would face in iraq. i dont think they are ready to own up to it and even though it seems reasonable to just issue more armor to all our troops, getting equiptment that wasnt prepared takes a long time. its just like at work. you see something broken and you tell your manager. nothing gets done until someone loses a finger or something. even then sometimes it doesnt help.
