Over the course of the past year or so I have diaried a few times about the Pentagon’s stubborn refusal to conduct full, fair and open testing of body armor that might be superior to that currently issued to our troops. The last round of testing for this new type of body armor was halted by the Pentagon 11 months ago for no reason, and has not been resumed since.
Well, in my periodic digital perambulations to check on the latest developments in this story, I stumbled across an interesting fact that might have a bearing on just exactly why those tests were abruptly stopped.
