Shocking Combat Video -- Paying for Rumsfeld's Mistakes
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-rieckhoff/shocking-combat-video-_b_8077.html
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, inadequate body armor was issued to thousands of troops. I know -- I was one of them. I commanded thirty-seven infantrymen who rode into Baghdad in the spring of 2003 with outdated, inferior flak jackets. Later I learned that as many as 40,000 other Troops went to Iraq with the same substandard gear.
