Yes that's right, you go to war with what you have. We did'nt have most of the equipment at the beginning of WWII and Vietmam that we had at the end. We learned as we went and drove on. Remember the sherman tank? Underarmoured and under gunned. History channel had a show about them in Military blunders. Yet they still helped us win the war. Same with Hummers. It was a replacement for the M151 series JEEP! Never intended to be an armoured vehicle. And yes civilians do raise monies for comfort items like phone cards, and that is greatly appreciated. But like I said, we all volunteered for service knowing that it was'nt the boy scouts.(probably safer in the military after the week they had). When things change you adapt and overcome which is what was done. Just remember, you can't clear a building inside a hummer, someone has to get out and get hands on.
