Guys, BEFORE this degenerates in to the big huge inevitable flame war that it's obviously going to become, I'd like to point out that there may be another side to this story, and we haven't heard that. This guy hasn't had a chance to defend himself - and I'd like you all to consider that maybe the people writing these angry articles have an agenda and aren't being completely forthcoming with the truth ( i.e. they are LYING. ) It's inevitable for a certain percentage of ANY war-related product to have to be recalled. He recalled a certain percentage of them and fixed the problem. And take a real close look at the way these "reporters" ( read: Internet bloggers with a hidden agenda ) are lumping this guy in with "Evil War Profiteers" as if he's sitting around with Cigarette-Smoking Man plotting the end of the world for his own fun and profit. He makes body armor - the ARMY approached HIM with a request to buy his product. He did NOT have some secret covert meeting with George Bush to cause the Iraq war to happen. He SOLD them the product they asked for, to their specifications, at the standard cost (making him very rich - that's the way the Defense Industry works).
Some problems crept up, he fixed them. And then spent his own money in the way he saw fit, which was to hire Stevie and the others. W/e, it's HIS
money, not "blood money." This is an EXTREMELY emotional issue, but try to separate that out from the facts, and try to read between the lines to see that these people have an agenda and are lumping him and Stevie in to a certain category without ACTUALLY giving you all the facts. And if you REALLY think about this, you may see that what these people are doing is actually rooted in jealousy, and in misplaced anger about the Iraq war. If we don't like the way the war is going or the reason it started we should vote for a new President the next time around, not take it out on some rich guy who provided our government with the product his company happens to make, or on Stevie, who provided her service (singing and spreading her magic, etc.) for the standard asking price.

OH-kay, I suppose the flame war can start now. I hope it pitters out pretty quickly and that there won't be too much carnage...
