Don't forget Somalia....
In the book "Blackhawk Down" the recurring complaint is that they did
not have any armour to rescue the downed teams. It makes you want to
cry and go beat up a few politicians when you read of the needless
deaths of the troops in the softskin convoys.
"They didn't want to escalate the level..." by letting the troops
there have armour.
