Soldiers and Rummy

Rumsfeld went to Kuwait to talk to some of the troops, and they weren’t too happy

Mr Rumsfeld was at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, to deliver a pep-talk to soldiers about the significance of the task ahead of them.

But he faced tough questions from soldiers anxious about their equipment and how long they will stay.

Pentagon staff said troops regularly quiz senior officers, adding that it was a way of boosting morale.

Right, that sounds logical, I know my morale is always boosted when you have such a problem with what’s going on you’re willing to bring it up to high level leadership, and they ignore it. I’m sure that memory will get them through the rough nights in Fallujah, or cheer them up while they “…root through rubbish to reinforce their armoured vehicles.”
