armor on their own), I suppose they ARE buying it for the troops. You will

it.......>>

As I understand it the Army is now issuing armor and not allowing soldiers
who have bought it (or have been given it) to use their own. This suggests
to me that a contractor is now supplying armor and doesn't want any
comparisons to the armor bought privately.
