Biting my tongue about the politics of American boys being in Iraq.

The fact is they are.

Watched "Over There" last night and had an idea.

G.I.s now have body armor for their torso.

Why not their bits and legs too?

How difficult would it be to insert body armor panels in pockets inside a kilt apron and kilt pleats? Maybe a kilt like the Union Kilts leather with Roman type panels.

Something to improve the odds of protection and deflection from bullets and IED shrapnel.

Yet still with enough freedom to allow them to run and flop to the ground as needed.

Would have to be flexible enough to let them sit too.

Thought I'd read where the technology of body armor was soft enough now to allow that flexibility.

Looking for function, not beauty.

Any experts out there that can enhance this baby idea?
