Military Bans Private Body Armor

Unbelievable story!

First the Republi-CON War-Hawks (Chicken-Hawks) in Washington D.C. sent soldiers to war without the body armor that they needed, then left them there for years without what they needed. This led hundreds of soldiers to their deaths, and left hundreds more seriously wounded. We later found out from the military’s own study that 80% of the deaths could have been prevented if the body armor they needed would have been provided. This information came to light because of a leaked Pentagon report (they wanted to keep this secret). Soldiers had to search for scrap metal to get more armor for their vehicles. Soldiers eventually were left with no choice but to buy their own body armor.

NOW the Defense Department is putting a ban on soldiers buying their own Armor???
More strange and sick policy from these fake tough guys who never served in war.

If the soldiers would have had what they needed in the first place, they would not have to buy their own equipment! The military wants soldiers to wear only the Army's equipment, but the Army's equipment has proven to be ineffective.

Listen to the story from NPR
