then you're drawn into the game. Respond with crappy armor on the humvees in Iraq, worthless to non-existent body armor for the soldiers such that mothers are buying it and shipping to their sons, water and food shortages for soldiers in Iraq, soldiers taking weapons from killed foes in Iraq because those weapons are better, and so on. This can be treated similarly to the "John Kerry flip-flops" thing.
