Mind you I may be generalizing it a tad bit to much, but I listen to the news almost 6 hours a day because of my job, and imagine being bombarded for 3 weeks of straight "Our Humvees have no armor".

well, I try to imagine myself being bombarded while wearing
no armor.
the national guards' lack of body armor is the most prevalent complaint I hear.
and the family members who send care packages with kevlar vests.
Given that their prices range from $600 to $1600 (and I suppose upward from there), 40 million would buy a lot of the activated members kevlar vests, politics aside of course.
