Body armor?

IN HARM'S WAY - Even though roadside explosive devices account for half of all the war's U.S. casualties, soldiers are still getting killed and wounded by them because the Pentagon hasn't provided enough fully-armored vehicles to protect them. Steve Kroft reports

Nope... :)

oops-post #15 referenced body armor, and I forgot how the thread started. It's 2:41 AM and my brain is tired but arthritis keeping me awake-so had to check out the news-been gone all day and evening.

Sorry.

A serious misunderstanding by Steve Croft: An armored Humvee does NOT mean you won't get killed by and IED. Though it improves your chances some.
