Bravo Michelle for this article.

The message in this story is that the troops ARE getting the equipment they need. The Army is constantly improving what the soldiers have and the comments made by the soldiers in the article are a testament to that.
Early in the war everyone had chemical suits because Saddam had threatened to use Chemical Weapons (I believe that qualifies as a WMD) on us if we attacked (but of course, he had no WMD's as the liberals point out). Everyone believed he had them because he used them on the Kurds and had threatened to use them on us, but I digress. Therefore we equipped ourselves for that threat. The threat changed to IED's as the insurgency grew in strength and we adapted and retrofitted for the new threat. That's what makes the American military the best in the world, our ability to adapt.
