Fool, try to keep your posts topical. The previous poster was complaining about equipment to US MILITARY PERSONNEL, including Interceptor body armor, reactive armor for the Bradley, and armor rails for the Stryker (which are ridiculous and further hinders an already mediocre vehicle). Donated Police vests would be completely unsuitable for US troops and actually LESS capable than the older style Kevlar body armor. Any cursory analysis would indicate this. The article did not discuss this problem.
