While I am not a big fan of the Secretary of Defense, I think this is good article about his recent comments. This is a pretty good story, too.

Keep in mind that the Department of Defense can only spend what Congress allocates for it to spend.

Our buddy, John Kerry, as a Senator, among others, voted to authorize the President sending us here. Then, voted against giving the Pentagon the money to up armor those vehicles, buy the body armor for soldiers, etc.

Remember to show your appreciation appropriately ... at the voting booths in the future.
