Total Recall

Body Armor Recalled by Army

"Army Secretary Pete Geren has ordered the recall of more than 16,000 sets of body armor following an audit that concluded the bullet-blocking plates in the vests failed testing and may not provide Soldiers with adequate protection."

We've come a long way from Ned Kelly's improvised body armor (in the picture above), but it's disgraceful that we'd send soldiers into the field with poorly tested armor.
