Kieler Militia Supply is here to educate the masses on their rights and help shed light on firearms. We are here to support the "Unorganized Militia" and "Organized Militia". --“I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.” – George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

Why The Army Banned The World's Best Armor

The Dragon Skin Body Armor Story. 

Why The Army Banned The World's Best Armor


Every Body Armor That Failed US Soldiers (The $2.5 Billion Scandal)

Over $2.5 billion spent on body armor. Soldiers in 130-degree Iraqi heat wearing 33-pound setups. A CEO stealing $10 million while holding billion-dollar contracts. Chinese counterfeit plates inside legitimate supply chains. And one armor system that passed federal certification, then disappeared four months after the Army banned it.
This video covers the full procurement history: from Vietnam-era flak jackets that couldn't stop rifle fire, through the Interceptor OTV rollout, the Point Blank fraud and 23,000-vest recall, the David Brooks scandal, and the Dragon Skin controversy. Every failure left soldiers worse off than they should have been.
