The Non-Issue of Armor, Garry Trudeau
. . . . .
Some of you may have seen Garry Trudeau’s comic strip a couple of weeks ago. Its focus was on our supposed lack of armored vehicles. I’m a little late in commenting on this, but unlike Mr. Trudeau, I’m actually over here in Iraq working. That’s what always amazes me about people like Trudeau. They’re so vigorous in their attempt to criticize everything about this war, yet they have no idea what they’re talking about because they’re not actually here...

This trooper can write, and tell it like it is. It may seem out of date, but it's not. The comic strip referred to was dated in early May and found in Stars and Stripes. When I was in the Nam, a "new" issue of Stars and Stripes was about 40 days old when it finally got to us!
. . . . .
Also read (and it includes photos) this Trooper's story of the magic of a piece of candy. You won't see this Washington Compost or on NBC!

I read your Cure for Social Security. After I stopped laughing, I thought your idea had merit. Especially the one about the old guys with weapons and airpower. Of course the enemy would have to come to us since we don't move to fast in our wheelchairs and walkers.
I salute you and all our Service Men and Women of all our conflicts, ie wars.
A 'tank mounted' wheel chair moves just as fast as a tank without a wheelchair. And 'dumb ass' kids (younger than 50) wouldn't be flipping you off while going down the freeway.

Tank mounted wheelchair? Is that like the Canadian Forces skateboard deuce and a half (2.5 pounds of fearless fighting machine)? It even has a pea shooter mounted on the front edge. Don't laugh. It's our front line assault vehicle. Hey. Economies must be made. Besides, you wouldn't believe how many miles to a cup of cool aid.
