NBC conducted "independent ballistics tests" to prove that Dragon Skin, the product created by Pinnacle Armor, was superior to the military's currently used "Interceptor" body armor product.

OK. So we're being asked to believe that experts at NBC know more about testing body armor than experts in the US military, and that somehow, their opinion is more accurate than the military's opinion? Get real.

This story got its started with Col. Hackworth’s group, Soldiers For The Truth.org. He has always had the troops safety foremost in everything he has done. NBC is doing nothing more than getting this story some publicity, which had been going on over the last two plus years.

It was supposed by SFTT.org, that these weren’t given a fair trial, and the basically any test of these were delayed or mishandled to the point that the current Interceptor vest would have failed as well.

As someone else already pointed out, this is the same US Military that sent troops in “fiberglass humvees”. So is it not possible, that maybe, just maybe there might be better equipment available that the average Joe doesn’t have access to?

Get real.
