I was in Iraq, I had body armour, my family or myself didn't have to pay for it. Interesting.

Maybe Kerry should have voted or fowarded a bill for a larger package to help cover the cost of necessary equipment.

Absolutely! That certainly would have helped save lives,
wouldn't it have? But of course, Kerry ALWAYS has voted

And in your job or service that you call your occupation.......do you give it away for free or spend your money freely for no return to make goods or provide services, or are there those (if only your family) who expect you to bring home an income and god forbid, a profit maybe.
Corporations are just income writ large.
But back to the point of this post. Its supposed to be about seeing what can be done to get to the troops what those soldiers need, and trying to explain what they reality is when it comes to the supply situation.
If you want to bitch about the war, there hundreds of other threads for you to do it on.
