I need your help.
Inspired to take on Oprah's "Pay it Forward Challenge" I choose to help each military person have the proper body armor needed. Can someone tell me the real story? You has the body armor and who doesn't? Which body armor is excepted? Next, what items would you like to see in care packages for yourself and family back home? To let you all know, this is being filmed and recorded for the Oprah Show. You can email me at oprahspayitforwardchallenge@yahoo.com and lets get this rolling. Thanks in advance for helping our military men and women.

Your Mistaken, Inteceptor Body Armor with E-SAPI is standard for Every single Soldier Deploying to either Iraq, or Afghanistan. Has been since 2004.

Any other type worn other than DoD approved and Issued is a UCMJ offence. The Soldiers would be risking their lives with a substandard Vest, Dragonskin is not up to the Mission Requirements

I was gonna say, if a unit for one reason or another doesn't have the proper body armour, they don't get deployed. The Army doesn't send people out there without that stuff.
