the body armour...
funny you should say that..
while the US army has outlawed the use of Dragonskin,
Richard Mac on Futureweapons was showing off how good that was...
it took rounds from all kinds of assault rifles going for it
without penetration at all.. it even took a lot of the kinetic
energy away so the soldier would not be winded and can run off and
take cover...
then they put the damned thing over a grenade.. the blast wave
would have killed the soldier but there was no penetration...
now.. why would the US army pay more for their substandard body
armour when there is a vastly superior one out there?
it's clear for all except the "investigators" 
the truly insidious thing is that orders came down from above that
any US soldier killed in action wearing dragonskin or other
unauthorised armour will not be eligible for death benefits.
