Pentagon Study Links Fatalities to Body Armor - New York Times: "The Army, which has the largest force in Iraq, is still deciding what to purchase, according to Army procurement officials. They said the Army was deciding among various sizes of plates to give its 130,000 soldiers, adding that they hoped to issue contracts this month."
They HOPED to issue contracts this month?????
One could only fondly imagine the drill sargeant from Full Metal Jacket reading that "military official" the riot act with enough f-bombs to melt the idiot's brass right through his skin!
Three years in theatre & they are hoping to issue contracts for armor? I guess if you're comfy in the pentagon, there's few worries, eh?
Can we bring 'em home yet?
