Meanwhile, the president downplayed concerns about the conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde and New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker join Stephanie Ruhle with more details and analysis.

Nah I remember it pretty well they shipped the soldiers without adequate body armor as well.

It was less a calculated, strategic move and more of a "dumbass doesn't know how it works" thing.

Again, who decides what's "adequate" when it comes to body armour?

Everyone wants "adequate" body armor but no one wants to wear the IBA's nut flap and thigh guards...
