karen, you said: It's not clear to me why you're framing this as "dumping all over our military."

Until the whole story is available, (and from the article I posted earlier, the military folks that didn't do the job, for whatever reason TBD,) the MSM should wait and not make up any stories.

Perhaps the reservists weren't trained thoroughly.
Perhaps the equipment and transportation they were to use is faulty.
Perhaps the body armor that you were talking about is still hung up in Congress because Kerry and Edwards voted against it...
Who really knows yet....neither does the press, it appears.

We don't know the story as yet, so the press can't ad lib or make things up until the story is laid bare.... Of course, the truth doesn't seem to be a factor with some of the media. Anything for 'face time'....
