The Need for Body Armor
I sure hope that all our ground forces have good body armor by now. Thankfully this 3rd ID Pfc must have had some. This
video shows a terrorist sniper hitting Pfc. Tschiderer while his associates filmed the attack. They were all subsequently taken down and captured. Note I do not use 'insurgent' as they appear to be jihadists from the repeated chants of 'Allah Akhbar' after the shooting. In a twist of fate, Pfc. Tschiderer, a medic, rendered medical aid after his attacker was taken down by other members of the squad. [Ref. ArmyTimes.com 7/15]
