Dozens of Needless Deaths Later... 

This story about how th army is purchasing protective ceramic side plates for the soldiers in Iraq contains this blaring example of Pentagon BS:
Our goal is to continue providing the American Soldier with the best, most protective body armor in the world," Boyce said.
Meanwhile, from the very same story:
It comes on the heels of a Pentagon study that found side armor could have saved dozens of U.S. lives in Iraq.
So when Boyce says their goal is to CONTINUE providing the American Soldier with the best, most protective body armor in the world, he really means they are going to BEGIN providing the American Soldier with the best, most protective body armor in the world FINALLY. To which I say, it's about time.
