   That's a stupid argument.  I imagine that argument started during this   
   conflict, because how were they armoring Jeeps back before Humvees?   
      
   Oh, and what about helicopters and airplanes?  Those are vehicles,   
   right?  And of course the reality is that armoring these vehicles is   
   largely a psychological issue because it isn't protecting anyone from   
   roadside bombs.   
      
   This is just another anti-Bush thing, admit it...
