Wah, why save lives by spending money when we can spend billions of dollars on bombers that do almost no duty in its lifespan, yay.

That's amazing. I'm just wondering at what point a soldier can survive before his/her chest cavity is crushed from all the shock absorbed.

Yeah, as if the video showing it stopping all that shrapnel and AK-47 bullets meant nothing.

Also, this topic is number 50,000 (look at the topicID).

why did they make a ied gun. Why didnt they make a bomb on some road like "bobs road" out in bum fuck egypt and roll some vw passat by with dummies fitted with this stuff? That would of been entertaining. But the skeleton thing was cool. I think this iraq war is to control the population. The world is crowded.

cougar love the sig

It's almost like the US gov't is trying to kill the troops... Suspicious

Most of the above was sarcasm. Most.

It's because the Army doesn't want to admit their stuff sucks.

Thats awesome, they make body armor that can take numerous ak rounds to the chest, and dont allow their soldiers to buy it because its not regaurded as being safe. They should make this stuff the official United States Military body armor, not whatever theyre using right now.

I heard that recently though in August. The article I linked could still be representative of the current situation with it, but it's also months old.
