Prison inmates making substandard helmets for our troops

"Contractors sold the U.S. Army and Marine Corps thousands of ballistic helmets made by prison inmates containing numerous defects including "serious ballistic failures," according to a new Defense Department Office of Inspector General report.

The IG launched two joint investigations with the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, supported by elements of the U.S. Army, regarding allegations that Federal Prison Industries and ArmorSource LLC manufactured and sold Advanced Combat Helmets, or ACH, and Lightweight Marine Corps Helmets, or LMCH, to the military that failed to meet contract specifications and were ultimately defective, according to the report released Wednesday."


Click on that link, just take your blood pressure meds first.  Over 120 thousand helmet were made that the DOD paid for that were faulty, made incorrectly, and intentionally sold by the companies in charge KNOWING that they were defective.

I'm sorry, but if you are making something for our troops and you KNOW the product, whatever it is, is defective or faulty, and you try to hide it and still pass it off on our troops, YOU need to go to jail.

Not pay back the money, you need to GO TO JAIL.

Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200.

JAIL!
