I've not heard about this before...
But it seems ridicilous!! Almost laughable.
Anyone know anything more about this?
With such a big military budget how can you have a lack of bulletproof vests?

The money goes towards things such as protecting tankers, equipment, developing high tech weapons and machinery and spent on big contracts. Simple prortection for troops and making sure they have the best and most reliable guns, etc as well as body armour is usually one of the early things to get cut.
So devoloping hich tech weapons is more important than body amour?
Could be done better by not sending troops into pointless conflicts in the first place.
But there you go.
It must be hard for him, making the millions off the gullible fools in the army whilst they have to buy their own boots.
Problem solved.
No-one cares for the grunts but themselves.
Yeah, because we only decided to go to war a few days before it happened.
