Isn't this nifty?

Soldiers are being threatened with disciplinary action AND the loss of their death benefits if they don't leave their superior, privately purchased body armour behind when deploying overseas.

Last I heard, a fair number of soldiers weren't even being ISSUED body armour. Now Big Brass is threatening them if they try to use gear they (or their families) have purchased themselves.

Discuss.

I remember when the guys at SA (myself included) got a fund going to buy the soldiers the armor inserts because most of them were not being issued them. We raised a good amount of cash and got alot of guys the armor they needed. As long as they let them keep that I won't have to go shoot anyone.
