Interesting and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand I think that anything that a soldier does to protect himself better should be encouraged. On the other, I can understand the Army wanting to make sure what soldiers are wearing is the best thing out there. (Though they should have thought about that long ago, when reservists didn't have body armor at all) The Marine Corps has not implemented a similar ban but they "encourage" the use of standard issue armor. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
