Democrats have been calling for extra body armour all along. The anti-soldier Republicans blocked the US soldiers from getting them.

Why do Republicans hate the troops?

And I see nothing in the article about Democrats having called for this body armor prior to this.  Source please.

Here's a Democrat from 2003. I'm sure there are plenty of others.

While that one anonymous Democrat from two 2.5 years ago did make a passing reference to it, frankly it's not enough for me.

In any case, did you read the part of the text that I quoted?  Who's to say that if the body armor had been used, there would have been more casualties instead?  I expect you'd be here arguing that sending the troops out to war with excessive armor caused increased inefficiency, which indirectly led to their deaths.  Which would also be the Republicans' fault.

Stupid Republican apoligist.

I'll take that to mean "Hmm, I guess I can't think of anything to counter that with."  My, you really are the worst debater I've ever encountered.

Oh, and as Blue Rectangle already pointed out, if you're going to over-use a word you could at least spell it correctly.

You'd rather bash Democrats than do what is best for America. Screw you.
