Just Think Of It As An Extended Warranty

So, I want to get this straight: Apparently, the armor that the Pentagon has provided our troops with manages to shatter when it hits the ground, to say nothing of what happens when a projectile hits it. As a result, many soldiers in the know, along with their families, have poured thousands of dollars into a different body armor company, one which has a record of, y'know, actually doing its job.

And, according to some of these soldiers, Army officials have approached them and told them that if they do not trade out the armor that they purchaed with their own money for the one that breaks upon being dropped from fair heights, then their beneficiaries might not receive death benefits.

You go to war with the army you have... and if you spend your own hard-earned cash to make sure you have a better army than anyone else, then fuck you.
