Kerry, on radio, says Bush shortchanging troops on gear wbay.com John Kerry has used the Democrats' weekly radio address to challenge President Bush to better support U-S troops.

Kerry says many families purchased the equipment and had it sent overseas. The Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting says if he were president he would never send troops into harm's way without enough "firepower and support." Kerry called on the president to support a bill he has introduced in the Senate to reimburse families for their purchase of body armor.
