You vere a
social outcast,
scorned and
shunned by
your fellow
equipment.
zo tell

you
hate
your
mother?
When I was a little boy body
armor, none of the other equip-

have any
moving
parts!

a
Circuit
card!
HMMWVs
rolled,
howitzers
boomed,
tanks
clattered,

didn’t click,
clack, whirr,
buzz, rumble,
boom or
light up.
That’s the sad story of
my childhood, Doc. Even
today, Soldiers treat me
like I’m a
nobody.

Vest
Very interesting.
