Please, can somebody put Rumsfeld in a nursing home?

A soldier asks for the broken armor of vehicles to be replaced, and
Rummy answers: "And if you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can be blown up". Hallo? Is this guy senile? It seems like a joke of Catch 22.
Question: Our soldiers have been fighting in Iraq for coming up on three years. A lot of us are getting ready to move north relatively soon. Our vehicles are not armored. We’re digging pieces of rusted scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass that’s already been shot up, dropped, busted, picking the best out of this scrap to put on our vehicles to take into combat. We do not have proper armament vehicles to carry with us north.
SEC. RUMSFELD: I talked to the General coming out here about the pace at which the vehicles are being armored. They have been brought from all over the world, wherever they’re not needed, to a place here where they are needed. I think it’s something like 400 a month are being done. And it’s essentially a matter of physics. [...] It’s interesting, I’ve talked a great deal about this with a team of people who’ve been working on it hard at the Pentagon. And if you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can be blown up. And you can have an up-armored humvee and it can be blown up.
