A Whole New Meaning to "Hillbilly Armor"

"Lance Corporal/Gunner, you ride up on top"

Support the troops?

U.S. Marine Gen. Peter Pace admitted to the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday equipment will be a problem when U.S. forces in Iraq are increased.

During testimony over the $481.4 billion fiscal 2008 defense budget, Pace said the military has about 41,000 armored vehicles in Iraq -- fewer than will be needed "to cover all of the troops that are deploying."

Pace said it will be July before enough equipment is in place.

$481 billion, and they can't buy enough armored vehicles? Geez...
