Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

so getting our soldiers killed is the best action to take.....weird, how can that be the best strategy when that makes the military weaker every time someone dies?

cause alot of someones is alot of people.

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

We are a military at war, people will die.

It doesn't matter if we're going to be in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, or North Korea. We will loose soldiers no matter where we fight. But you know what, that's just what happens. And for every one of my comrades they get, we kill or capture at least eight.

then why doesn't bush push to get yall more money for better protective gear? or better medical treatment? is he afraid his shiny toys will get blown up?

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

...

We have world class hospitals and protective gear that is saving lives that would have been lost even 10 years ago. The reason we are seeing so many amputees as a result of this war is because those are people who would have been killed a decade ago. Thanks to our amazing medical corps and top notch protective gear, their lives are being saved.

Look, you clearly don't know what you're talking about, so please stop.

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

if you all have the best then why do you still die from a bullet...that if hit the best protective gear wouldn't even harm yall?

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

I'm not even sure what you just said. But I'll run with it.

Because you can't run around looking like this guy:

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

what does being covered in plastic have to do with being killed by a bullet that the best protective gear could have prevented?

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

You can't have your entire body covered in kevlar and ceramic plating. You wouldn't be able to move. Like that guy.

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

actually yeah ya could...since your joints can move you can still walk all you'd have to worry about would be the bombs....

Re: Bush and his infinite wisdom...or so we're told
 

So now you're trying to tell a combat veteran what's the best sort of equipment to take into combat?

You are wrong. It would be incredibly restricting, not to mention hot. It's 130 degrees over there, 110 in the shade. How well do you think 100 pounds of ceramic plating would ventilate?
