Body armor
dave anderson 4 months ago // 2 responses // Subscribe Military Life On the job: work stories

I just read that body armor is becoming very common on the battle fields that We are involved in. Even the bad guys have it. Worse the .223 and 7.65×51 rounds that We use are stopped by body armor. This a development like going from muzzle loading weapons to metalic cartridges. All of the rifles We now use will be obsolete.
