Of course the executive branch has an interest in keeping armor away from our troops. It takes money out of the treasury that could otherwise be pilfered by KBR. Every dead American soldier nudges up the price of oil as well as the self-righteous indignation they can shine on anyone who would question their motives.
Those unlucky enough to be maimed but not killed will get to deal with an under-funded Veterans medical system thanks to Republican budget cuts (such sweethearts them!).
I'm surprised there are conservatives who have the gall to show their faces here after arguing so vociferously that the top 1% wealthiest Americans needed a massive tax cut. Might as well just include a bubble on the 1040 tax form where you can check for a larger tax cut and more dead U.S. military personnel. I wonder what the ratio of people recieving $5000 or more in tax cuts : to dead U.S. soldiers due to improper equipment would be. Hope it's worth it, fuckers.
