Red State in Iraq.

Nothing like the smell of a good straw man in the morning.

I have just spoken with a 1st ID soldier who is on his third tour of Iraq, and has become known as a human armor testing device. His first tour, he took three 7.62-mm rounds to the chest -- bruises and abrasions only. His second tour, he took four rounds to the back -- same result.

On this, his third tour, he took a sniper round to the head. His helmet protected him to such a degree that all he got out of it was a headache and a little swelling.

The injuries in all three were big enough that he received three purple hearts, but minor enough that, after a period to get his mind right again, he was quickly returned to duty and is working again as we speak.

But, you know, the troops here have no armor.

Oh, snap! Take that liberal media!

And let this be a lesson to you too, Armor 4 Troops Foundation (pictured here with Don Rumsfeld). Our troops don't need your stinkin' help.
