I just can't believe that this kind of thing gets voted against. It was an amendment to provide better - and necessary - armor to protect our troops. Passing this amendment does nothing to affect pork or any other unlikeable aspect of the larger bill.
My cousin is in the Army. I cannot fathom how anyone could vote against giving him and his fellows in arms the best protection possible. The idea of him being hurt or even killed one day because these chickenhawks want to play politics...it just makes me unbelievably mad.
