NYT - Disgruntled Troops Complain to Rumsfeld

Mr. Rumsfeld told troops to deal with the lack of armor and stop loss. I'm not sure how most troops would respond to his comment, but we can see the there is a growing voice of soldiers that are disagreeing with the current conditions in Iraq.

The New York Times > AP > International > Disgruntled Troops Complain to Rumsfeld: "Disgruntled U.S. soldiers complained to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday about the lack of armor for their vehicles and long deployments, drawing a blunt retort from the Pentagon chief.

``You go to war with the Army you have,'' he said in a rare public airing of rank-and-file concerns among the troops."
