"...Soldiers' Families have been misled by conflicting media reports that left them concerned that the Army might not be doing all it can to protect its Soldiers."

Gee, whose interests would be served by doing that?

I am living proof that these things work. I took an AK round square in the middle of my chest during a firefight back in 2004. My SAPI plate stopped it and all I had to show for it was two cracked ribs, bruises in the outline of my dogtags and soiled underwear. The rag who shot me did not fare nearly as well thanks to my guys.

We met a moonbat at Walter Reed who bought into the BS going around that our troops had less than the best available body armor and that he had purchased, at his own cost of $5,000, some Dragonskin armor for his kid. The kid was wearing it in violation of orders.

There are reports out there of irregularities in the statements and tests by Dragonskin's manufacturer and in news reports broadcast by NBC News, in particular Lisa Myers. If the reports of misleading the public are true, and it appears that they are, Dragonskin's manufacturer and Lisa Myers have put our troops at risk.

The Moonbats are killing their own kids by buying into any and every Bush Bashing BS that comes along.

Soldiers Defend Body Armor

I would, too. Especially if my hide were inside it.

You won’t see this on NBC News.

I remember watching CSPAN and a press conference where the Army developers of body armor were demonstrating the equipment and answering questions. Some dumbass reporter asked why what was on display was the "seventh generation" and why that wasn't just provided first? As if they were deliberately NOT fielding the latest and greatest.

The also had a Marine SGT school the dumb bastards about body armor. The discussion centered around "shoulder pads" which the Marines can have, but few use. The reporters were aghast. The SGT looked at them as they were a bunch of dumbasses (which they were) and told them that the key to saving his life on more often being able to get over a wall. And that the "shoulder pads" restricted his ability to do that.

We need a legal licensing requirement for reporters. We don't let lawyers, doctors, pilots or truck drivers practice their profession if they are not qualified.

who’s to say that the armor isn’t good, just that the dragon skin is better? i saw an actual demonstration on future weapons on the discovery channel. looked to me like dragon skin is amazing.

I wonder are these some of Ron Paul supporters.
