House panel slams Pentagon for poor troop protection

Article Abstract:

The House Appropriations Committee approved a bill that would provide $64.7 billion for defense, and proposed boosting procurement by a total of $372 million to be used to protect troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. A report that accompanied the bill accused the DoD of not providing adequate equipment for the troops. The report was especially critical of the Army.
