Genocide memorial? But that's the Karen Demirchyan Complex also known as Hamalir. I get their build on the same hill but I don't think they're the same.

Its Vazgen Sargsian birthday. 10,000 young kids swear for thejr country.

What? Are you trying to say? That it's not something to nitpick about? ...Then Okay. I just thought is was weird he calls it "genocide memorial".
I would also find it strange to do it at the genocide memorial, buy that's something else.

A useful graphic to consider what we can do to help our soldiers transition into the soldier under the "Current Operations" column. I don't think the standard Armenian soldier even uses knee & elbow pads, just special forces.

I think this chart is very misleading. It attributes low ratio of death to wounded by comparision in diffrent wars to armor leaving out other, maybe more influencial to that ratio factors.
Evacuation and medical treatment qualities, for one thing.
The reason US/Nato combatants have such low death rate is because since they establish air superiority right from the start of any conflict, they can take out wounded quickly and have them on operating table in minutes after injury. in previous wars the time after injury was lot more and soldiers were dying before receiving medical help.
The very advanced life sustaining, reanimation and surgical facilities available just fiew miles from front make a big diffrence also.
Block US medevac craft from approaching or operating in combat area, force medical facilities to be stationed further (by your air force activity), and dead to wounded ratio will jump up very significantly, armor or not.
I don't know of any armour yet, that can witstand high power ammo and heavy shrapnel/shock explosives ordnances.

You are right.....high powered rifles can penetrate the best vests with plates in it....but it will stop 9mm machine gun bursts.
Kevlar is the best but they have come up with something better.....also fit is important when used.

For explosions/shrapnel there are actually bullistic blankets.

More or less agree with you on cause of casualty drops but can't argue that our soldiers manning posts at night would benefit from night and/or thermal vision or addition of simple goggles or pads would make it easier to prevent certain injuries. I posted the graphic because of its detailed information on what soldiers carry on them rather than the casualty statistic.
