Ted, Most body armor is made by DHB and AH and usually has a soft metal alloy encased in fabric. It is estimated that US soldiers are carrying 50 lbs of extra weight when on patrol.........during 110º heat. They are able to shower maybe once or twice per month. Think about what that is doing to their physiology. Can you explain more about "DHB" and "AH"? I have no doubt that our soldiers have to wear a lot of extra pounds, but the only body armor I'm familiar with is kevlar with ceramic plates. Plus, it's hard to imagine anything wearable that can stop a bullet from a high-powered sniper rifle, but it's likely that Mr. Insurgent just had a regular rifle. Five star? Only in your Bush fantasies. Uh ... it all depends on what your definition of "five star accomodations" is. Tenchusatsu
