They still just don't get it. I caught part of a House Armed Services Committee session on C-SPAN this afternoon. Seems that the Army has been sending large numbers of new, armored humvees, down to Ft. Hood, Texas to get advanced command electronics installed, with the notion that they'll go to Iraq when that division deploys in January. The congresspeople really seemed to think that the modernization could wait, and getting the armor to the troops in harm's way ought to get some priority. Civilians: they just don't get it!
