Rumsfeld tells soldiers tough sh*t.

[spanone]

Rumsfeld basically told the troops tough shit when they complained about body armor and the likes. Who do these little weasels think they're talking too?

1. They think they are talking to subhumans

and that they themselves are superhuman. They are the elite, we the scum of the earth.

2. I'm surprised he didn't just tell them to...

..."fuck off" ala Dick! Com'on Rummy, don't be a dummy! Don't let us down!

We The People...please note this only applies if you are a neo-CON. Emphasis on the CON part.

3. "You go to war with the Army you have"

{rumsfeld's thought bubble}....and you will like it, you will shut the fuck up about it, and you WILL do what we say.
((((FUCK YOU RUMSFELD!!!!))))
:mad: GADS how I hate these people!

4. Was the follow-up question something to the effect of

"Can you tell me why the military is having a hard time recruiting people?"

[spanone]

8. She asked about not being able to leave the service: stop gap provision

he blew her off by saying the services have used this for years.

5. I was driving when I heard that this morning, and I nearly went

off the road I was so furious. I was rolling down the street saying
"Asshole, asshole" which I usually reserve for bad drivers!!!!!

6. and, of course, the GOP is the "pro-military" party

The problem is, the guy who asked the question probably voted for * and the straight GOP ticket. He will the next time, too.

I suggest we abandon any efforts to attract the military vote. We will get some, but most are hopeless.

7. I like how he said "you're gonna get blown up anyway"

when they questioned him about armor for their Humvees.

What a great guy

[spanone]

9. He said you go to war with the army you have not the one you want

WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT THE ONE WE PAID FOR YOU FUCKING IDIOT???????
i WISH THEY HAD LYNCHED THE FUCKER.

[Nordic]

10. Yeah. I'll bet HE had armor on

for that little "talk"

[American Tragedy]

12. WTF He did not REALLY say that, did he?

Someone told me that and I thought it was a joke.

[Nordic]

13. here's what he said exactly

``You can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can (still) be blown up,'' he said.

I'm sure that made them all feel so much better

11. Randi just played the sound

:wow:

14. Abstinance-Only

At least he's staying on-message.

His administration always says the same thing about condoms.
