If this MSNBC article about a shortage of body armor for our soldiers in Iraq is true then something needs to be done now. Due to make lack of trust in the mainstream press I'd like to know if this is a true problem. Somebody let me know and I'll also try and do some digging.
UPDATE: I've been given some more information that this really is a big problem. I know it's been around the news a bit but I want to do more blogging on this topic. I will need to wait until the weekend as I've got a lot on the plate tonight.

About time. The military brass can have their Star Wars toys but the men risking their asses, er being told to risk their asses, don't have this basic stuff?
