Enclose them in tactical dreadnought terminator armor, equip them all with bolters and plasma pistols. And while we’re at it, replace Humvees with Land Raiders imbued with the machine spirit.

...the network used the expert opinion of Dr. Phillip Coyle - the former director of test and evaluation at the Pentagon during the Clinton administration - to certify results of side-by-side tests conducted at NBC's expense in Germany.

Follow the money. This 'expert' smells like he's got hidden financial interests in this product.

Such a good man! We probably don’t deserve him for president!

I’ll bet it’s still better than that “Diamond Fuse Armour” junk that the Xantarians were peddling a few years ago.

“We need to straight away, in an expeditious way, to find out if there’s value to this system,” Hunter said. “And if there is value, we need to extract it as soon as possible and get it to the troops in the field.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is the mark of a man, a leader who says, “Damn the politics, we need to do our best to protect our troops.”

I like his priorities.

Who says the war has not reached within our borders? The Honorable Duncan Hunter steps up to the front lines once again. I have every confidence that he will continue to do the right thing

The mere fact that NBC was involved makes this so-called independent test smell like road-kill in August.

Future NBC commentary:
“Dragon Skin is the next best thing since the Pot Roast MRE, so stop all operations until EVERY soldier or Marine has it.”

OK, I asked my local video game/scifi expert, and in his 14 years, he hasn't heard of this stuff.

It’s a reference to the game, Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War. Very fun game!

Everyone knows that D-Cannons, vortex grenades, and a summoned Bloodthirster running around the battlefield is the way to maximize carnage.

Or...just dump a bunch of Tyranids all over the place :)

I though NBC had topped itself when it rigged Chevrolet pickup trucks with explosives to demonstrated that the truck’s gas tanks would exploded from a side impact.
It must be something in the network’s bias stream that is causing the subjective infection to always be on display.

Ummm...didn't you know that Jorge Bush is too interested in granting amnesty to illegals to give a tinkers dam about protecting our troops?

Didn't you know that Jorge Bush has TOTALLY botched the so called "global war on terror" because he hasn't secured our borders and refuses to call the war what it really is--a war against radical Islam?

Didn't you know that there has been ZERO reform at the Pentagon since Jorge Bush became president and the "not invented by us" syndrome there drives EVERY decision in equipping our troops for combat?

I learned all of that by hanging around here for less than one year.

Tyranids FTW. What is a bunch of bioweapons among enemies?
