U.S. soldier is blown up and ends up having to pay for his armor?????

OK, try to get your mind around this. An American soldier was wounded in battle, his armor was stripped from him and now that he is having to leave the Army, he has been forced to pay $700 for his armor because no one documented the fact that it was destroyed. Read the article. It is blowing my mind.

So, let me get this straight. A soldier is forbidden to buy decent armor, is forced to use what the army issues him, and then when it is blown to smithereens and he is taken away on a stretcher with shattered limbs, he is eventually required to pay for the crappy armor because no one filled out the correct report.
Amazing.
