Dude, I've already seen Hillary's carelessness before, first hand.
It's a Clinton trait. While in Somalia the Clintons felt it would look bad if they allowed us to drive around a hostile city in armored vehicles. They felt that Muslims would be offended. They were more concerned about offending Muslims than protecting their own troops they put in harms way.
They chose to start gluing Kevlar plates in the wheel wells of our Hummers so that they wouldn't be noticed. Inside of the vehicles they velcroed Kevlar blankets which pretty much came loose under fire and smacked into us when a bullet hit the doors. The bullet-proof glass they put in our windows were easily pierced when an AK round hit it. Every one of those Rangers and Delta Operators that died on Oct 3rd 1993 died because they had no armored vehicles when thousands of Somalis started shooting at them.
The reason all of this was so fucked up is we were the only troops that didn't have armor.
Everyone else had it. Canada, Pakistan, the French, everyone in the UN command had armor.....except the Americans.
Like I said, I've seen this act before....first hand.
AGAIN, you parrot right wing accusations you can't prove. Hillary and Bill don't install armor in vehicles. In 1993 Bill was the President and Hillary was the First Lady.
You continue to prove you are an idiot.
We requested armored vehicles and it was refused.
Yet a few months later Bubba gave the Pakistanis the very armor we requested. My team even trained them on the M113 APCs and the 50 Cal guns mounted on them.
You're right, Hillary and Bill didn't uparmor our vehicles. They authorized the Pentagon to do whatever they could to protect us without giving us what we really needed. No armor was authorized.
As is their habit, what they authorized fell short of the mission requirements.
This is what we requested:

This is all they would allow us to have:

Everyone else was driving around in something similar to this:

When Benghazi blew up, it just brought back bad memories. I said to myself "Hillary let those guys die on purpose because she wanted to put on a passive face!!".
You need to STFU bud. You don't know what I know. I talked to my commander and he told me what was going on.
Hey Einstein, your commander was a idiot, just like you. CONGRESS appropriates defense funds.
You are just a right wing HACK.
