NO BODY ARMOR?

I know one way to make sure the troops that are fighting in Iraq and other
places get the body armor they need!

Take all the members of the "MILITARY ARMS SERVICES APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE" OUT TO THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT AREA, LINE THEM UP, BLINDFOLD THEM
AND PUT SHIRTS ON THEM, SOME WITH ARMOR AND SOME WITHOUT". Then bring in a
squad of military enlisted troops, use men/women from all branches, with
ME-16s loaded with blanks, take off the blindfolds and let them see the
troops aiming for their hearts and let them see how it feels to know not all
of them have Bullitt proof vest on. Let the troops fire the blanks which the
committee members don't know are blanks. Then cease ALL combat patrols and
engagements for however long it takes those dummies to approve the money for
the armor. I'll wager that ALL combat troops will have body armor within 1
week. IF they don't repeat the process only this time include the President
Vice President and cabinet, if this doesn't work next take all of congress
out to the Washington monument, I'll bet this will put the fear of GOD in
them.
Personally, I can't understand how any, competent , Company Commander can,
in good
conscience send even one of his men into harms way without the necessary
equipment to give him every chance to survive the mission.
