Aussies Having Body Armor Problems

Yikes...

THE safety of Australian troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the elite SAS force, has been compromised by defective body armour, combat jackets and helmets, according to damning Defence Department documents.

The faults include combat jackets that glow in the dark, giving enemies an easy target, and body armour that cracks easily.


How exactly does one go about accidentally creating glow-in-the-dark body armor?

It’s a safety thing so they don’t shoot eachother.
