Humvees in Texas Parking lot - bush stays the course

[BOSSHOG]

The moron in the white house who is the best conservatives could come up with the in the last two presidential elections continues to get our kids killed. Humvees sitting in a parking lot in Texas while our kids die on the roads of Iraq.

I'm sure those at free republic are very proud of this latest example of leadership. What would Ike do?

1. Ike would court martial the lot of them for incompetence!

2. I used to think Humvees were pretty neat.*

Now they are a symbol of everything that has gone wrong since bush has been in office. I get a bad feeling every time I see one. Seriously. Especially when it sports a "W" sticker.


* I liked the original Humvees, for their off-road capability. Still like Unimogs.

4. Without fail, every Hummer here has a "W" sticker.

Check out this site. It's therapeutic.

3. We don't even have the manpower to train troops in new radios?!?!

Another debunking of the Military continually saying they are meeting recruiting goals. Troops can't drive fully armored HV because they have different communications equipment and they aren't trained to use that equipment.

Jesus.....



"But the new communications equipment does not work with systems the 3rd Infantry Division is trained to use, and commanders in Iraq can't spare the soldiers to train them on the new systems, Cody said. So the new, modern Humvees will continue to sit until the 4th Infantry Division moves in, he said."
