Unbelievable

My husband had a layout today and was told to bring certain items in. These items were turned back in as they have been found to be defective. WHAT! One of the items was the protective vest he wore in Iraq..........and you tell me for 15 months in a warzone he was issued something defective to wear to protect him? Doesnt the Us Govt spend tons of money on items and shouldn't they have a top notch quality control system that should have caught this months ago before being issued to a soldier on the front lines?!?!?! I am stunned beyond too many words at this news and even more so that they did not issue him anything to replace it........ but since he is home to me that seems okay at this moment. However, we still have soldiers over there and what pray tell are they wearing? Defective vests??????
