Protecting Our Troops?
I have to think that government contracts are lucrative enough on their own without having to cheat...
I found this on the Military.com website, but it's from the New York Post:
"Two whistleblowers claim that a $1.9 million fine leveled against their former bosses - who allegedly underweighted the bulletproof material in combat helmets to save money - is too measly and part of a Pentagon cover-up.
Jeff Kenner and Tamara Elshaug, who worked at the Sioux Manufacturing Corp. in North Dakota, had charged that their company was involved in the 'underweaving' of the bulletproof fabric in more than 2 million 'P.A.S.G.T.' helmets handed out to National Guardsmen, Army Soldiers and Navy Sailors across the country."
