Soldiers in Iraq Still Buying Their Own Body Armor

Do you think the army is buying the best quality body armour available, or do you think they try to cut some costs and go for a slightly lower quality?

I don't know about the quality of the body armor; I'm sure they cut some costs, but it's reasonable to. M-16's aren't the best assault rifles around, but they aren't bad, and they're relatively inexpensive.

Even if our army isn't perfectly equipped, it's better equipped than our adversaries.
