    Default iPod armor

    The front of the Ipod.

    Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.

    The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor. Fortunately, Kevin suffered no wound.

    This looks like a new version of the I-pod specially for the military. I believe its called the "I-Raq".

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
    ~Samuel Adams

    Cool Re: iPod armor

    The factory oughta replace it for him. Sounds like he was listenin to some pretty hard music. I'm not gonna pick on a soldier much but he might not have been shot if he'd been payin attention? Don't know wasn't there.
