My Errant Mind

The Army denies that some of the Dragon Skin armor it was sent for testing (and that it claimed failed) ended up on eBay for sale. Of course, in typical military fashion, ridiculous shit happens. Especially in the arena of procurement.

Someone’s about to find their ass in a sling.

Murray Neal, CEO of Pinnacle Armor, is rightfully pointing out that something smells fishy at the Pentagon. I watched video demonstrations of their body armor and was quite impressed. I would rather be wearing Dragon Skin than probably any alternative—including the current Army issue.

It can withstand some intense blasts and retain its integrity for crying out loud. For those readers unsure of what that means, it means that if you are going to dive on a grenade and take one for the bros, Dragon Skin is what you hope to be wearing in that unfortunate scenario.

No data for test results and vests ending up on eBay? Reminds me of the incredibly expensive advertising textbook I bought in the campus bookstore for a class once—upon closer examination, a free instructor’s sample.

The Army wouldn’t by any chance be scratching backs or pinching pennies at the expense of soldier’s lives, would it?

But stuff like that doesn’t happen, does it?

See what makes Dragon Skin so amazing…

And news of the Army’s rejection…
