Satire about the scandal of U.S. troops forced to fight in Iraq while riding in unarmored, unprotected Humvees, where they are sitting ducks for insurgent attacks using rockets and improvised explosive devices; desperate soldiers have installed improvised sheet metal from junkyards, while Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld pretends there isn't a problem.

Armored Humvees
(Sung to the tune of the "Armour Hot Dog Jingle")

(Sorry, no MIDI music is available)

Humvees... armored Humvees...
The kind our troops need: armored Humvees.
See what Rumsfeld did?
Shortchanged in Iraq:
Our troops blew the lid;
Junkyard armor that they hocked.
No Humvees... armored Humvees.
They're bogged... down... where... they... fight.
