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.

yep, seems fair. allowing people to choose what armour they wear seems fraught with difficulty, though... and i worry about the soldiers not issued with armour, but unable to afford any themselves. not really fair, that.
