Many Iraq-Bound GIs Buy Own Armor

Soldiers headed for Iraq are still buying their own body armor - and in many cases, their families are buying it for them...

towards the end of the article it mentions:

A bill being considered in Congress would reimburse families who bought body armor before the Army asked for increased production to bridge the gap between soldiers who had armor and those that did not.

But of course whoever this AP writer is fails to mention that the bill is sponsored by Kerry. :eyes:
