Military intelligence indeed

OK, watching Future Weapons tonihgt on Discovery while sitting at work. They were talking about this amazing new body armor that is being developed called Dragon Scale. Same idea as the old scale armour worn as far bas as the Roman Empire. The design is nothing new, I just wonder why it took them so long to use it for this purpose with modern materiels........

Ah well. Just my $.02

Two words Military intelligence!!!!

 

I have a friend who is in Afghanistan and our town raised funds to purchase this very armor for him because at the time (about two years ago) the army didn't have any armor to issue him. Let me tell you, this is some tough stuff. Really impressive. Sadly though, the army wouldn't let him use that armor because it wasn't officially recognized by the military. He went six months without any armor, but thank God he was never in a situation where he needed it.

 

Dang it musksnipe my Funk & Wagnall says that there "Military Intelligence" thingy is a "Oxymoron".............Tell yea that don't sound too good calling the Militaries Ox a moron, dang Ox beat me a Checkers just last weekLOL

 

good answer, oxymoron

 

Exactly my point...... I actually had a chance to go to Afghanistan in December. Working for AAFES as a Hairstylist. Nice deal for the $$, but no armour benefits, so I decided against it. If I did go tho, i would be looking for something like that... damn impressive stuff that's for sure.

i realise i am now just an old f**t (60) i am ex Royal Marines (UK) and during my service the told us the only protection we needed was our green beret (really cheap )

 

impressive on your head stone

 

uh-oh, sounds like there's something I don't know about. Is my foot in my mouth?

 

i can't tell from here

 

why do you watch dumb tv shows that make your brain itch? If anything about the military or the world at large WAS intelligent, there would be no need FOR a military, because people could figure their damn selves out. Duh. turn of the tv, itll rot your brain.

 

Did you even notice what happened with a direct blast from a Grenade? Of course, they should of used Ballistics Gel, not a Punching Dummy, to show the amount of damage that happens from the blast, nor used a shock meter.
