I claim to be nothing more than interested in this topic. I do see it is sensitive topic. I have been following dragon skin for many years and the fact that advanced body armor is not available for public use I came here assuming/hoping that the military proffesionals here would have more of the experience I don't have.
Just typingin "zylon fails in the line of duty" in a google iteration returns

the third one is a report of a griving widow of a husband who was killed while wearing zylon fibers that had 2 penetrations

I think our backgrounds are effecting our ability to communicate. There are of course networks that report news to me and websites that link topics of interest but I can see in your sense of the world I am not a commanding officer so it would be easy for you to say no one reports to me, I can accept that.
Typing "dragon skin fails in the line of duty" returns
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ty&btnG=Search with none in the top twenty of an occurence of an in the line of duty failure. about half are reports of testing failures and the other half are the successes of the independant tests
I have 0 dogs in this fight aside from trying a desire to make sure the testing that is government run is fair and balanced and that reports of "mafias" and influence peddling are explored so that it happens as little as possible.
My post was only in response to others posting from defensereview.com and about the decertification. In my post of contention I didn't refer to DOD testing, I didn't refer to army certification, I didn't refer to FAT tests, I didn't refer to anything other than the recent justice decertification and the recent questions arising from why zylon armor with a know failure was not decertified with the speed of the dragon skin certification. I really want to reiterate that I have no financial stake in any armor company. I have no friends in any of these industries further more I have nothing to gain other than purely intelectualy by talking about these topics.
About being busted for not posting iin the intro section, I just saw a "come to ps.com there is a great discussion" and I had lots of questions for you guys and mr masters and just was too hasty in thinking that I was invited and didn't read all the intro specifics. I have posted on many forums and can't name more than this one that have a required introduction in a forum. I have nothing against it I fixed the problem as fast as I could.
