GIVE 'EM THE BEST BEFORE THEY DIE

Antony Loewenstein, outspoken supporter of the thugs killing coalition forces in Iraq, links to a New York Times article condemning the US military's alleged refusal to provide the best available body armour:

"A secret Pentagon study has found that as many as 80 percent of the marines who have been killed in Iraq from wounds to the upper body could have survived if they had had extra body armour. Such armour has been available since 2003, but until recently the Pentagon has largely declined to supply it to troops despite calls from the field for additional protection, according to military officials."

Loewenstein observing:

These figures are devastating and prove, not unlike Vietnam, that soldiers are expendable.

Angry Ant couldn't give a damn about the body armour issue: he's on a points scoring mission here, just as he was with his recent condemnation of David H Brooks, a supplier of body armour used by US forces, for "the misery his job actually creates".

The coalition body count can't get high enough, soon enough for bloodthirsty Lowy.
