Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor

The Hamilton Spectator is reporting that inventor Troy Hurtubise, creator of the "bear-protection suit" made famous by taking a hit from a moving vehicle, has slimmed down his design in hopes of landing a lucrative government contract. From the article: "He has spent two years and $15,000 in the lab out back of his house in North Bay, designing and building a practical, lightweight and affordable shell to stave off bullets, explosives, knives and clubs. He calls it the Trojan and describes it as the 'first ballistic, full exoskeleton body suit of armour.'"

A much better way to save lives of 'the boys' would be to withdraw the troops already, instead of inventing stuff to make war more efficient and which (therefore) will cost more lives. No matter what side those lives are lost on, they have equal value! But why would he care, at least it will make him a few bucks, right?

Worse than a serial killer, that's what he is.
