How NOT to Inspire the Troops

Ladies and Gentlemen, our very own Mr. Rumsfield eloquently giving the troops a "pep talk:"

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

Answer: You go to war with the Army you have.

Surely he's not suggesting that the military is understaffed or underfunded? That we didn't have a good enough plan to go in and win the peace or avoid a civil war? That we really don't even know what the heck we're doing over there?
