“The Marine Corps is recalling 5,277 combat vests issued to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Djibouti after a newspaper article raised concerns that they failed a test to determine whether they could stop a bullet.” The AP reported today.

“The Marines said in a statement they are recalling the vests to alleviate any doubts caused by a Marine Corps Times article published yesterday, but service officials said they do not believe the vests are faulty”

Are you kidding me???
