In May I’ll be going to Iraq; I’ll be embedded with the US Army. The US Army – other than the Dutch army – does not provide embedded journalists with a helmet and a vest that protects you against shrapnel.
In a way this is a more correct procedure I would say.
Currently I’m busy buying a vest and a helmet.
To get the right seize helmet and vest I had to measure my head and other parts of my body.
For this reason I bought a measuring worm.
