Meeting with some of America's finest, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld got a shock today when the soldiers began to talk back.  In a Q & A sesssion,  Army Spc. Thomas Wilson of the  278th Regimental Combat Team, made up mostly of Army National Guard soldiers from Tennessee, asked:

"Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to uparmor our vehicles?"

The crowd's response?  2,300 U.S. servicemen and women let out a big Army cheer.

Why can't the press ask these kinds of questions?
