Karen, The liberal media is "dumping on the military" instead of going to the real story. Events such as this would not happen if it was not because Kerry, and other liberals in Congress refused to vote for the money needed to properly equip our military people, They had the chance to do the right thing, but their hatred for Bush, has put our troops in jeopardy. If you, really, want to support our troops, work for a significant majority of the liberals being replaced by conservatives in both houses of Congress. If one soldier dies because of faulty equipment, you can blame it on Kerry, and company.

Don't we want to support our troops by assuring that they're adequately equipped? Have you asked US Senator John Kerry that question? I have. Got no response.

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'....
