U.S. Troops Went Without
Troops Lack Up-Armored Vehicles.

Troops Lack Communications Equipment.
[DOD/IG, Equipment Status of Deployed Forces, 1/25/07]
Troops Lack Electronic Jammers for Roadside Bombs.
[DOD/IG, Equipment Status of Deployed Forces, 1/25/07]
Troops Lack Heavy Machine Guns.
[DOD/IG, Equipment Status of Deployed Forces, 1/25/07]
How can you support them when you don't protect them?
