Maryland research lab works to keep soldiers safe

ABERDEEN, Md. —Thousands of U.S. troops are serving overseas, and many are in danger every day.

A lab in Maryland is working to keep them safe.

Inside the Army Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, innovation meets protection.

"We actually think of it as soldier survivability," Dr. Shawn Walsh, a team leader with Agile Manufacturing, said. "Soldiers need to be able to see, they need to be able to hear, they need to be able to run."

That often means developing protective gear for soldiers that provides extra support for heavier impact.

The soldiers would not be "in danger" if they all came home and protected their friends and family instead of murdering Muslims for Israel.

Yet so little is done to protect them when they come back.
