Personally, I think its treason to make the parents of our boys buy their own body armor so they don't get killed or maimed.

This doesn't make sense unless you're making up a new definition.

And I'd step off the high horse you take towards the military when you include a link to Ted Rall's website. The man is the lowest of the low.

A little anecdote about army personel buying their own equipment. A kid in my Arabic class is a marine reservist and was supposed to makea speech on fox news right after class. He broughtin a scope he had bought himself b/c the marines wouldnt supply him one (by scope i mean a sighting device, meant to be used with 2 eyes, I'm not gun expert.)

Anyways, the scope still had an AK-47 round rattleing around inside of it. The scope stopped the round only 1 inch from the marine's head. It freaked him out pretty good, but makes for an awesome memento.
