Soldiers Ordered to Shed Armor or Face Losing Benefits

Soldiers serving in Iraq whose families purchased Pinnacle's Dragon Skin Body Armor have been told that if they don’t take the body armor off and leave it behind they will not receive their full life insurance payouts. Is it because that body armor is substandard? No it’s better than what the US Army provides when it does actually provide body armor.

“Currently nine US generals stationed in Afghanistan are reportedly wearing Pinnacle Dragon Skin body armor.” But the lower ranks are told to leave their privately purchased body armor behind.
