The point isn't how brave our soldiers were in WWII, or how well (or poorly) Desert Storm was planned. The point is, Rummy fucked up planning for THIS war, and as a result there isn't enough armor, body armor, etc. to go around.
This issue is also entirely divorced from whether or not ivading Iraq was in and of itself a good idea.
And it seems to me that Rummy's answer, when questioned, was not, "I'm sorry, I know you've had to make due with some tough conditions and I'm proud of you. We are doing our best to remedy the situation, and give everyone adequate armor. In the mean time, keep up the good work, and I promise that we will do everything possible to improve things."
Instead, he said, "Well, I don't really give a shit that I inadequately supplied you. Tough."
And that is completely unacceptable. For that alone he should resign.
