So what would it cost to provide Kevlar strips for them to make their turbans of?

Has any branch of our military tested Kevlar turbans against the standard helmets and other issued headgear?

The “turban type troops” would never be without their Most Protective headgear.
I'll wager that a turban has more “stopping power” than a ball-cap or Dress uniform “class A” head gear.

Heck, our Turban troops would have their Kevlar turbans far more often than other troops have their helmets. Ergo, on average they'd be More Protected!
