Uh, gee, i dunno. . . . maybe that it's a WAR! Maybe that the terorrists trying to kill our troops will have some success regardless of the armorment.
The subtext of 60-min's propoganda is that our military is NEVER ready to fight a war, unless it has "been properly planned" (by the POTUS) down to the last design feature.
Yep, once a President gets the okay from Congress he must start those lists. . . Let's see, we need to build some aircraft carriers, some cool jets with lots of cool missles, .. .. .

. ..We should prolly have some helmets made .. some bullet-proofvests, shovels, canteens (we better have those armored-water is rare there) Oh, hey, lets redesign some SUV's for our guys . . they have no use for cup-holders, when they have
canteens .. .
dd, while a HumVee may seem like a tank as an LA grocery-getter, it is NOT a tank when hit with an RPG, or drives over a detonated IED.
This MMQB (monday morning qtr-backing) is absurd. Always with how "something more coulda, woulda, shoulda, been done". .. . "we have the power, the
technology. . . We could of saved lives!"
ah yeah . ..
that's what 60-min's was shooting for.
