January 2010, American GI’s at War Still Have to Use Hillbilly Armor: Your Tax Dollars at Work

the following clip is from Casey J porter’s movie "A.O". Casey J. Porter: "One segment of A.O. featured a Soldier talking about how our vehicles, including the new MRAPS ( Mine Resistant Ambush Protected ), still are not getting the job done. In both of my deployments one thing that was consistent was that if a Tank or an MRAP went down, the replacement vehicle was a HMMWV ( Hum-V ) if t More..here was not another MRAP or Tank for you to use. "What has stayed the same since the beginning of both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is that Soldiers still have to use creative techniques to make what they ride in safer. The Military is funded to a level which we have not seen before, and that a large portion of that money is wasted on thing we dont need, like fancy televisions. This deleted scene was meant to show you first hand that we have HD televisions in our Chow Hall, but are still have to create our own homemade armor. "Watch this clip, share it, rate it, favorite it, but more than anything else, TAKE ACTION. "
