All over the news there have been reports of the Interceptor body armor jacket failing ballistic tests at stopping a 9mm handgun. We have also seen newspapers and news stations make broadcasts claiming that the United States of America falsified the reports of the Dragon Skin armor’s capabilities, and that the Unites States was choosing profit over the safety of our soldiers. NBC even had the audacity to start their own investigative report on the controversy surrounding the interceptor Body armor jacket made by David H. Brooks and DHB Industries Inc and the Dragon Skin Body Armor jacket made by Pinnacle Body Armor. Both jackets were put through the same exact military tests and the Interceptor passed every one. Out of the eight Interceptor jackets tested all eight passed with flying colors. When the Dragon Skin body armor jackets made by Pinnacle Body Armor were tested they failed miserably. Out of the eight vests tested, the bullets penetrated four of them.
The newspapers are trying to get stories; they need something to write about. If the Dragon Skin body armor jackets would have been protecting our soldiers in the war, half of our soldiers would not have made it home to be with their families. It is better to see the newspapers writing about why the Dragon Skin should have went to war instead of writing about the soldiers who died because it went to war. Thank you David H Brooks and DHB Industries for protecting our soldiers and putting safety first.
