If that's the case and we are going to have our underpaid troops buy their own materials..... then we should give them the right to choose whether they wish to go to Iraq and for how long.
It's only fair. We pay them very low wages for what they do and we expect them to pay for their gear? Fuck that.
We need to find out why we are doing that to these fine young men and women.

Just because we pay does not mean we're okay with it. I'd personally like to see Bush wearing a wicker vest protecting a gas tanker leaving Baghdad headed for one of our military instalation. I pay for my cousin in law's supplies because I don't want him to die, not because I accept the fact that the military won't buy what they should for their own soldier.
