Protect the soldiers I hardly believe that one. In the Iraq war parents were purchasing armor for their army children and many complained that the vehicles they were in were not safe. The weapons are for profit; they hardly care where they go or who they kill. Its the money not LIFE why we even sell weapons to our so called enemies. That is a known fact.
