Wounded Soldier Charged for Armor

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A former U.S. soldier injured in Iraq says he was forced to pay $700 for a blood-soaked Kevlar vest that was destroyed after medics removed it to treat shrapnel wounds to his right arm.

You can read the full story at Military.com .

I want to know who this idiot was:

Rebrook said he tried to get a battalion commander to sign a waiver, but the officer declined. He was told he would have to supply statements from witnesses to verify the body armor was taken from him and burned.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this and it is beyond belief the military would actually try to charge this soldier. Does anyone know if he actually had to pay that and did he pay that? I would like to get in touch with that soldier.
