Moral to the story -- Don't mess with the Pentagon.
I also heard a reporter say that it was turned down by the Pentagon before it was ever tested by them.
My money is on someone very important in the government or related to someone very important having a large financial interest in the current body armor being used. Probably a lot of palms being greased to keep from losing the contract also. I saw the demo on the discovery channel and it looked like a very good product to me.
They went around the Pentagram and showed their stuff on TV....that pissed a lot of generals off!!!
what was that Navy Seal shooting with then, in that discovery show
gov approved spit balls?
unless that test was doctored with ammunition that was sub par,
but that thign was stopping large rounds at close range
so if it was a scam it was certainly well orchestrated
Simple test, have the president of Pinnacle Armor stand behind his product or in this case in it.
I can’t think of a better certification.
DragonSkin’s in deep doody...looks like they’ll be joining Richard Davis in taking over the management of Unicor armor.
BUMP
Bush just earmarked 30 Billion dollars (additional) for Africa AIDS funding.
That 30 Billion + 15 Billion (already wasted) would have gone a long way in having state of art armor for all of our military heroes.
Bush blows it again.
(I voted for GWB twice)
Well we would soon know who is lying if they test side by side. I think the military will be found guilty if they don’t do the test!!
