Well, there is body armor and their is body armor and needless to say, the 
government is buying the cheap, old-type and heavy stuff.  The stuff we were 
ordering 10 years ago was "relatively" light weight, being half the weight 
of the old stuff.

Plus, it really is time for the powers that be to rethink how much other 
crap these soldiers have to haul around with them.  They aren't out in the 
jungles where they have to survive with what they can carry on their backs 
and belts!
