DefenseWatch Reports All Commercially Obtained Body Armor For Troops Is Now Prohibited By Army

If this isn't the height of irresponsibility and full on negligence on the part of our government, I don't know what is.

The soldiers were ordered to leave their privately purchased body armor at home or face the possibility of both losing their life insurance benefit and facing disciplinary action.

Yup, you read that right. Not only does this government fail to properly equip our troops with body armor, now, if you have the audacity to purchase your own, and die in combat wearing it, your family may not receive their life insurance benefits.

Fuck the soldiers, that's this government's mantra, all the while beating it down every American's throat that this government SUPPORTS the troops.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Assholes.
