They need to also start making all the uniforms out of Kevlar-Carbon with reinforcing of critical areas !! Kevlar reinforced boots and boot soles also.

It's simply embarrassing and disrespectful that the US government places more emphasis on Afghanistan civilians than it does our own troops. If you're not going to protect them and let them actually fight 100%; then it's time to bring them home.

I mean not disrespect to you, but I thought there was not such a thing as an ex-Marine.
