Troops grill Rumsfeld on war as armor shortfall stirs ire
About 2,300 soldiers at Camp Buering Kuwait pressed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on long deployments and a lack of armored Humvees. Specialist Thomas Wilson, 31, Ringgold GA, asked why troops must scavenge scrap metal for up armored vehicles. Rumsfeld replied the Army is seeking armor but warned armor alone cannot prevent losses. The event highlighted ongoing Pentagon supply gaps as U.S. forces prepare for a yearlong Iraq deployment.
