Anyone living or working in a war zone should take a moment to reflect on the passing of Lester Shubin, the Justice Department researcher credited with inventing the first effective bulletproof vests.
The Washington Post obit on Shubin includes this interesting detail of the tests to determine if the new Kevlar vests would stop bullets:
"They put their new vest over a gelatin mold to determine how a body might react to the impact of a handgun bullet and then drafted, as test subjects, a series of unfortunate goats..."
Bulletproof vests are great...everyone in the service needs to own one and wear one everyday. They have proven to save lives.

They are great, I was saved by one twice. I had huge bruises on my ribs but they went away. It hurt like heck getting shot at close range but i was 100% thankfull for that vest. The company i bought it from just gave me a new one free of cost.
