    We Just Came To Work Fight Here; We Didn't Come To Die By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
    You've probably read or heard by now about soldiers in Iraq asking Donald Rumsfeld about why they have to scrounge through the garbage to find armor to protect themselves from being killed by roadside bombs or snipers. Rumsfeld's response can be summarized as 'Deal with it, girlie men.' OK, this is sort of an Iraq war issue, but it's also kind of a workplace safety issue in that these are soldiers, just doing their jobs, asking for a workplace that's as safe as possible (given the circumstances.)
