Think this is a pretty good summary of the body armor timeline and guess what? When was the problem really created? Hmmm. In the 90's maybe......

Now let's switch gears for a minute and go back to just after the Iraq war. I was a Sergeant. Bill Clinton was the president and the Army was told to stop thinking "cold war" and start thinking "low intensity conflicts" (BIG misnomer- anytime someone is shooting at you it is anything but "low intensity"). We are in a time when the government is drawing down the military and spending a lot less on training and equipment. A lot of large force on force exercises come to an end around the world. Most small preperatory exercises do too

Nuff said.|||109839113957315446|||The Body Armor Bruhaha | No Pundit Intended
