Damn liberal media and their Jedi mindtricks!
The same questions have been asked multiple times by the press over the past year and they received essentially the same answers from Rumsfeld. The difference here is that the question is being asked by a soldier on active duty of his own free will. Soldiers have had these complaints for months.
And it turns out that Rumsfeld is lying through his teeth too, we are not producing armored humvees as fast as possible according to the people who actually make them. According to defense contractors
we could produce another 50-100 armored humvees per month, but the U.S. government has not ordered them.
