Mr. Rumsfeld's Great Catch 22 Adventure

The Army under Rumsfeld's direction, along with the reserves etc, aren't always getting equipped with body armor. We know that already, correct?

So why is the Army now outlawing the use of personally-purchased body armor?

This makes about as much sense as our saber-rattling at Iran considering we're getting our asses kicked hard in Afghanistan and Iraq and we're bankrupt here at home in making overpayments to Halliburton, Bechtel, and other lovely defense contractors.
