They failed to “meet specifications” in what sense? Are they less bulletproof than they are supposed to be? Or simply the wrong shade of olive drab? Before running around with our tails on fire we ought to get some clarification.

The Army found something wrong with the helmets.

The wrong shade of UN blue?

Knowing this administration, it could be that they are not biodgradable.

Hi-Tech, these kevvies have had other recalls. Mainly they seem to be too small and were once found to not have enough space between the liner and the shell. And don't worry about surplus. The Duncan Donuts SWAT teams will spray paint them matte black and glue way cool SWAT stuff to them.

IMHO, they chickened out from making it look like the big German stahlhelm of WWI, fearing our boys would look like the new NAZIs. Good point. Although that design really is among the most effective ever designed,

BTW, helmets ain't really supposed to be bulletproof. They're supposed to help prevent shrapnel wounds.

Ditto.

Having done far too many goobermint contracts, 'failing to meet specifications' can mean anything.

And if anyone's ever done goobermint work and has seen the 9" stack of spec book's you know what I mean.
