Man who created the Bear repellent armor creates light-weight air-conditioned bullet-proof military suit, inspired by Star Wars and Halo.

My question is, if he can do that in his backyard with $15 grand, why doesn't the Army?

Re: Codename: "Trojan"

army can't afford $15,000 for every soldier it sends overseas.

Re: Codename: "Trojan"

Yes, but with this it dosent seem they'd need nearly as many soldiers.

Re: Codename: "Trojan"

Well, it costs $15k when you're buyign materials at public prices but the goverment buying things at mass bulk wholesale it'd cost a whole lot less per person. Then again they can't seem to afford to give everybody flak jackets and helmets so you can't expect much of anything from them.

Re: Codename: "Trojan"

That's awesome.

But are we really gonna rely on the CANADIANS for military advancement?

Our country is too cheap to invest in this. My friends over in Iraq had to buy their own Kevlar vests, that’s pretty messed up. Maybe if our country didn't give millions to corporations and politicians, they might have some left over to actually protect our troops.

What he said. If you were to shrink the profit margins of defense contractors by a modest 30%, you'd have more than enough money to supply this and all adequate supplies to every soldier home or abroad.

Silly me, I thought this topic was about condoms.... but it is about protection so I was close.

Re: Codename: "Trojan"

Apparently he's also invented:

a giant light cannon that cures cancer/parkinsons/every possible disease?

A laser that allows you to see through walls and fries electronics.

Something called 1313 paste that can be cheaply put on humvee's and completely protects passengers against explosions.

Fire Paste which he put on his face and had a specially designed blowtorch blast him in the face, temperatures reaching past those of the space shuttles engines on take off, and walked away without a scratch.

What the ****?

If they weren't giving millions to corporations and politicians our troops probably wouldn't be out there right now.

Maybe they could even start paying them more than a McDonald's Asst. Manager.
