Well if you read why they refused it was due to equipment they needed like armor for their hummers.
I don't think that has anything to do with training this is nothing short of not protecting our soldiers because of poor planning.
As far as Nader goes I believe he's at least being honest and actually has a plan, this doesn't mean he's going to stop the war on terrorism. It means he wants some help because he sees our men dying. I f you want to see what he's tired of just look here.
Regardless of who you're voting for you should at least know who's dying for America.
I didn't mind getting rid of Saddam I thought it was the right thing to do but only if you're ready for the aftermath which this administration clearly had no idea this was going to end up like this and over a thousand dead soldiers so far.
I remember the exact words that prove my point
"Mission Accomplished" I believed it when I heard it but these words are clearly wrong and I can't remember the exact date but I think it was over a year ago I heard them.
I know there's a cost for freedom but you need to fight for it like our country did and the you will be rewarded. Where's our reward in this?
My opinion of this war is changing with time and I personally think we're not doing a good job.

River this shows how poorly this war is being run.
I'm sure president Nader will do a better job since he plans on "replacing US forces with a UN peacekeeping force". http://www.votenader.org/issues/index.php?cid=17
I might have to translate that.
Put US forces under UN control so I can say "I withdrew US forces and we are now part of a collation participating in the UN peacekeeping forces"
I don't blame these troops for speaking up and not driving into an ambush unprepared.
I blame the training they received prior to being sent over. The units that left from here had intense 2 months of refresher training before each unit was certified ready to deploy. I say refresher training because every reservist received basic training in addition to the weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. I blame the unit commanders for not addressing their concerns and taking care of their soldiers. I don't see it as a microcosm of how the entire war is being executed.
