I called the company that makes them and wanted to buy a set for my son. (I just wanted to make sure he had the armor.) They don't sell retail, but he told me that EBay had them for sale. Evidently someone is stealing them off the docks and trucks and selling them. Needless to say, I called J.D. Hayworth's office to let him know. I did check EBay and sure enough there they were for sale.
I think the military just caught, prosecuted, and sentenced a Marine for stealing vests and eBaying them. At least 6-figures worth, as I recall. Hard time in Leavenworth, or equivalent.
Military justice happens much quicker than civil justice.
