Jason Van Steenwyk makes an excellent point:

You will never have a perfectly surviveable system. And you cannot turn Humvees into tanks. You will bankrupt the country.

The insurgency will not be defeated by putting an extra armor on our vehicles. The insurgency will be defeated by dismounts. Dismounts out there engaging with the Iraqi people and collecting real-time intelligence.

And THAT is the effort the Media should focus on. THAT is the effort that Congress should focus on.

I guess some people never heard the expression that the best defense is a good offense.
