There is no excuse for this!!
WASHINGTON - The military is recalling more than 18,000 protective vests because they did not meet ballistic test standards when the body armor was made up to five years ago.
It is the second recall in about six months.
In May, the Marine Corps recalled 5,277 combat vests issued to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Djibouti after a newspaper article raised concerns that they failed a test to determine whether they could stop a bullet.
Among the eight lots of the body armor being recalled, more than 10,000 vests went to the Marines and more than 8,000 went to Army soldiers.
We are sending our kids out there the least the government could do is equip them properly!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!:mad:

I agree comepletly. Of course, were they not in iraq they wouldn't need body armor.
