Rumsfeld giving Obama advice on Syria...please.
Halliburton, Blackwater,Hummer. Hummer got bailed out.
And the Blackwater privatized military personnel had the Kevlar vests
And the up armored humvies.
While our troops...got slammed and their families, back home,were left to fend for them
And scrounge and search for the Kevlar vests to send to their family member fighting
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And what about Karina?
Rumsfeld wasn't there for this national guardsman.Nor, was he there for Katrina.
I will never forget.

Transcript from pbs newshour.
RAY SUAREZ: The soldier who sparked the controversy yesterday was Specialist Thomas Wilson of the Tennessee National Guard.
SPC. THOMAS WILSON: We're digging pieces of rusted scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass that has already been shot up, dropped, busted-- picking the best out of this scrap to put on our vehicles go into combat.
We do not have proper armament vehicles to carry with us North.
DONALD RUMSFELD: As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.
You can have all the armor in the world on a tank, and a tank can be blown up. And you can have an up-armored Humvee, and it can be blown up.
