All the armor in the world isnt going to protect our troops. I offer as evidence:

Feel free to take these videos off if they are too graphic. I think they are somewhat educational though.

Then why waste money on it? Heck, we could send them in with t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops instead of body armor. A pointy stick works as a nice replacement for m-16's, too.

Rummy is an ultra melon, period. If he had to spend a day riding around Baghdad in an unarmored humvee instead of his fully armored limo, he would be singing a different tune.

My idea all along has been to convert Bradleys, Humvees, and M1s to remotely controlled vehicles. It would not be that hard at all.

One of the definitions of insanity is to continue to do the same thing and expect different results.

Another is to believe warfighting can be made safe.

It certainly can be made safe.

So future wars are gonna be sans killin'?

How will we know who wins?

Safe for the U.S., not 3rd world militants.

if the other side posesses lethal force, there will be casualties.

A Molotov cocktail is lethal force.

How about there are different level of safety that can be achieved.. Strange you would argue this point Holden..

With our technology there is no need for boots on the ground.
I am so dammed sick and tierd of hearing another American has died in the chithole of a country I just wish they would bomb the
turds back into the stone age.

Yes, strange indeed.

This is the most rational I've ever seen Holden be.
