armor needed . also new President. Apply in DC

There is an armor shortage in Iraq. It's about as controversial a statement as saying that there are bad Tim Allen movies, or that epistemological relativity often leads to imprecise resolutions of moral conflict.
The most secure are factory-armored Humvees, and the Pentagon has received only 5,910 of the 8,105 that commanders say they need. But only 10 percent of the 4,814 medium-weight transport trucks have armor, and only 15 percent of the 4,314 heavy transport vehicles.
The uproar has exposed some of the most crucial challenges facing the Pentagon: how to equip and train troops for a war whose very nature has changed.
A resourceful insurgency has seized on an American vulnerability - the shortage of armored vehicles - and attacked supply lines with roadside bombs. These trucks are driven primarily by reservists, while a much greater percentage of active-duty soldiers are deployed in direct combat, and disparities between these troops have already prompted the Defense Department to begin sweeping changes in the way soldiers are trained and equipped.
What mystifies me about this more than anything else is that one of the stated rationales for going to war was to fight terrorists "where they breed". Now, terrorists tend to like using small, targeted attacks against important and meaningful targets - like, say, transport trucks. It's not really a difficult thing to predict. We allegedly went to war with terrorists...unprepared to fight terrorists. And we're still unprepared to do so.
Oh, but the question was prompted by a reporter's query. And the cheering of the soldiers after it was asked only occured after this man showed up at the event:
Can we trust nothing anymore
