Larry,
Why weren't our vehicles, like Jeeps and trucks, ever armoured, and why did they send us to war with defective M-16's? The same reason my dad ended up on Guadalcanal with a Springfield 03'. At least they are trying to remedy the problem and have companies working overtime, 24/7 to make armour for something that wasn't supposed to be armoured in the first place. Heck, they had us using junk french machine guns in WWI that got more of our guys killed then killed the Bosch. Also in WWII we had very few new fighters and bombers, tanks, and M-1's. It takes awhile to get our businesses switched from a peace time economy to war production. Same stuff, different war.
