What about our soldiers?

I have just been informed of the things my husband and his fellow soldiers had to go through. I have just now been told about the soldiers not having adequate protective gear. Some soldiers did not even have protective vest, and the ones who did have vest had defective plates. My husband wore an defective k-pod (helmet), so defective that throwing a rock at it cracked it. So I want to know what is more important, our government officials living in mansions in 7 different states or our soldiers that they have sent to war? As of right now I am seeing a trend, The government is looking at our soldiers as if they dispensable. Our Soldiers deserve more than this, There is no reason to have to worry that my husband is getting the right protective gear. If our government can spend billions on balls, which the American people are not welcome to come to, but they cannot spend billions on the adequate gear for our soldiers in a war that is being pushed by our government. What is the point in sending our men to war when they are not willing to push for the proper gear? These flaws in the government need to be know, so please tell everyone you know about these facts, hopefully they will soon be seen by someone of high power. Someone who can actually use these facts to push for the gear for our soldiers.
