Dude.
Just because you didn't have armor to stop the ball bearings shot at you in the Civil War, doesn't mean that the soldiers of today have to face the same dangers you do.
Why don't you tell the NFL players to dump their helmets for the leather ones you wore in college or something (I mean,
something had to have knocked your head)? Or more poignantly, have the Police Officers of today dump their bulletproof vests...I mean c'mon, the deputies of yesteryear never needed them, right?
