"The Future is Now" Israel's Trophy Anti-RPG Armor Protection System will save lives

Put our Troops back in the Armor they deserve, "Trophy", Israel's Anti-RPG, Armor Protection System (APS) is ready for deployment. Mr. Rumsfeld quit trying to put people back to work, in the US, at the expense of the Soldiers Lives. This is the inherant problem with Lighter, Faster, Cheapter, it just cost lives.

Raytheon's "Quick Kill" System will not be ready until 2011. RPGs have killed nearly 40 Americans in Afghanistan and more than 130 in Iraq, including 21-year-old Pvt. Dennis Miller.

“They were in Ramadi, and his tank was hit with a rocket-propelled grenade,” says Miller’s mother, Kathy. “Little Denny never knew what hit him.”
