US gives Kurdish allies vehicles with no side armor

Dozens of MRAPs provided by the U.S. government to its Kurdish allies in Iraq have arrived without protective side armor, Fox News has learned, with one security contractor who works with the Kurds saying the missing armor makes riding in them tantamount to "committing suicide."

The U.S. government promised 250 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs) for Iraqi allies to help in the fight against the Islamic State.

But Phil Hudicourt, former Army Special Forces member who has spent more than a decade in Iraq, told Fox News the vehicles are "dangerous" without the armor plates.

What, saving money at the expense of Kurds' lives? This administration is truly insane. I'm guessing he has no intention of ever meeting the mother of a Kurdish forces veteran who "enjoyed" one of these U.S. gifts, huh?

This one is so preposterous, I'll expect it to show up on Snopes soon.
