Just because someone votes no to body armour doesn't mean they don't support their troops.
Where do you think the money comes from when they purchase these sets of body armor? Nothing against the troops, but theres due place and time and reason. During the Rangers time in Mogadishu, they removed some pieces of their armor to move better, be less weighted down, and to ease off the heat.
As for Bush, for a guy that has problems stating what hes done in office and the 'hard work' he does, that goes to show that he has no power and that theres someone behind the curtains running the show.
Kerry 'flip-flops' because he can and because its when the situation presents itself. The situation in Iraq, about sending them in but less funding it like saying, "I'm going to beat up this guy, but instead of bringing a bat, I'll bring this wrench."
There are so many things to be done in this country and some people just want to see change.
