Give Female Troops Body Armor That Fits!
Recent studies find that body armor issued by the U.S. Military is too restrictive and ill-fitting for women serving in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Demand better equipment for our brave servicewomen!
We the undersigned demand better body armor for the brave women serving in combat.
According to
The Seattle Times, women have composed 12% of combat troops in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade. The body armor issued by the U.S. Military has been described as "inadequate" and "restrictive" in the field, making it difficult for women to defend themselves and perform their duties.
We believe that this is unacceptable. Please devote more research and development toward the creation of body armor that fits women and issue proper standard equipment as soon as possible.
Thank you,
