Sigh... Our allies were able to get protective vests through suppliers in the US before our own soldiers could through the Pentagon. It is there in the article I posted if anyone chooses to read it. Halliburton is not a supplier of protective gear; they do lunches and laundry and gas from what I can tell, at premium prices.
I don't intend a "smokescreen," as you suggest, nor am I experiencing "fresh" indignation. What a foolish statement from you, when I have only been a member of TFP for a short time. You know nothing about me.
From the above article, it is clear that another Sec Def might have done a better job of protecting our troups even in a "minor" war.
