I just wish I knew why the Army was so dead set against it.

Sir,

I have been looking very hard at the Dragon Skin but I hesitate because what I'm looking for is an up-armor system I can throw over my concealable armor and uniform shirt while responding to shots fired calls. I'm thinking that stand-alone plates in a TT type plate carrier will handle my needs.

The Dragon Skin maybe the best choice but I may not be able to move wearing concealable armor and Dragon skin at the same time.
