I think that soldier was right for asking what is going on. Its his right and nobody in his chain of command would be stupid enough to punish him for not doing anything wrong. The Army should give him a medal!
Don't blame "the administration" for the Army's lack of armor. The administration has #^&#^&#^&#^& money for whatever the folks have asked for. War is a "run what you brung" environment. Hummers were never designed to be armored assault vehicles. They replaced the old Jeep. Those things went through at leat 3 wars and were sand bagged in every one of them.
If you just start bolting stuff onto the Hummers you eventually exceed the design specs and things break. In a combat zone, no amount of armor will protect a Hummer if it can't move.
