Why do you think my LAPD officer brother worries about punks learning to shoot for his head? Could it be that widespread knowledge of our use of body armor changes our enemies tactics? That is what he seems to think.

"The protection of soldiers is our No. 1 mission," Speakes said.

I would disagree. When we first discovered that the terrorist were using cell phones to activate IAD's we chose not to turn of cell coverage in those areas.

Of course, terrorist use different devices now. But in the beginning we chose commerce over protection. Since are Military isn't based on that technology it would not have affected us in any way.
