If we sent our soldiers to Afghanistan in a nice brown sport jacket, would you not deem them incompetent for the job at hand?

They're told what to do, just like you were and just like you in Iraq. And just like Iraq, and all over the news - you didn't have the proper equipment either - and neither do they - however it isn't the Army's fault or BP's fault - they don't control that at all.
Anyway, I went and looked up the type of equipment they have.. they do have helmets, they have like riot type gear - which does take damage from rocks.
Guess when police get killed with riot gear on, from rocks and bottles - it's the police's fault too.
