I don't want to lost 12 men simply because they didn't have adequate armor or because they were driving a truck that goes from 0-60 in 12 months.

How many vacation days have you taken, since Jan. 20, 2001?
I can anticipate the argument, "the POTUS is working, even when he is in Crawford...." The news reports of the way he spent his days, "working" in the fall of 2002, 2004, 2006, clearly show that he was actively campaigning for himself or for allied candidates during those months. I'll concede that those travel and speech making days were "work" days, if you'll concede that, during "a time of war", even half of 418 days spent in Crawford, especially in view of the results of this president's tenure, would be considered excessive....derelict.
