| My commentary was from personal knowledge and experience ... what I tried to say was ... IF ... offering the troops the BEST in personal protection is near the top of the list for those responsible for obtaining the armor, then the 'best' of the lightweight civilian 'business suit' armor is the best way to go. These modern lightweight armors beat anything that the military is using to day (the best the military has to day is so heavy that in a very short time you are too pooped to participate in any kind of an operation without first taking a breather. The ONLY problem with these armors is they don't have the 'MILSPEC' grading that the military/industrial complex is so fond of attaching to something so they can double the purchase price.
As far as I am concerned, someone in the military dropped the ball and are trying to cover their collective (_|_)es. |
