#1 Smart. I was wondering when the military would deploy a Kevlar suite. I think it would also be good if it were easy to get in and out of, so that infantry can use it while riding in vehicles and quickly take it off if they need to dismount.

#3 LOL!
Seriously tho, it would be a morale booster for sure.

Im read where in WW Deuce (aka the big one) soldiers under a barrage would routinely put their helmet in what they considered the most important place. I also am told that air force type did the same thing only they sit on their flak jacket and cover their ass.

#6 Sounds like what we really need is a Kevlar jockstrap.

It would also be useful if it was easy to get into and out of so that infantry soldiers could quickly take it off if they need to mount someone [Lynndie England, perhaps].
