"Pentagon forbids troops to buy better body armor."

You know, you can't even get outraged over this sort of thing anymore, can you? Somehow, this has to be Cindy Sheehan's fault.

AND THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING ... Wow. It's purely amazing, the total lack of response from members of the wankersphere over this story. I was expecting something along the lines of "Why do you hate America?". Or maybe, "If we allow the troops to buy better body armor, the terrorists will have won." Or, perhaps, "Shut up, CC! Just shut up!" Or something predictably intellectual like that.

Give them time. They'll come up with a rationalization. They always do.
