How to get body armor to cousin in Iraq???
A family member just deployed to Iraq. He is in the Air Force. He got to the Green Zone just in time for the suicide bombings. His wife is worried sick because he has not been issued any body armor. To hear her tell it, the reason is that his “boss” will not authorize the expense. I’m sure it is more complicated than that, and frankly his job involves a computer, not a machinegun.
But the fact of the matter is that everybody would feel a lot better if this guy had a vest. So here is my question.
Assuming this is a matter of dollars and cents, how much does body armor cost, where does one buy it, and how would I go about getting it to Iraq? Any advice would be appreciated.
