These people MIGHT wake up someday...

'...he felt compelled to be over there,' Wilson said, adding that both she and her husband voted for President Bush in November and support him '100 percent.' But she said she was not impressed with Rumsfeld's answer.

...'He is always like that,' she said. 'I don't think he understands the concept of biting one's tongue. It wouldn't matter if it was Bush himself standing there. He would have dissed him the same.'

Army Spc. Thomas Wilson, a 31-year-old member of a Tennessee National Guard unit, asked Rumsfeld why vehicle armor is still scarce, nearly two years after the start of the war.

'Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?' Wilson asked.

The question prompted shouts of approval and applause from the estimated 2,300 soldiers assembled in a hangar in Kuwait to hear Rumsfeld...

...She doesn't watch TV reports on the war while their two children - 10-year-old Megan and 5-year-old Thomas - are home because 'it scares them to death.'

'...he felt compelled to be over there,' Wilson said, adding that both she and her husband voted for President Bush in November and support him '100 percent.' But she said she was not impressed with Rumsfeld's answer.

'He seemed like he was stuttering and stumbling - like he was caught off guard,' she said. 'Rumsfeld's answer seemed like he was sidestepping around the question.'

She added, 'If there is something lacking perhaps that is why our death toll is climbing.'
