We had a bunch of people asking for these jackets so it was hard to ignore the wittiness of our commentors and choose the winners randomly. But we did. Rolling dice and random number generators are cool, but in the end we wanted a more dramatic mechanism to get our result; random questions to an editor on deadline. We videotaped the event both to prove it's authenticity and to have as evidence in case it all went wrong.

The winners as chosen randomly by Vago Muradian, the editor of Defense News, are comment numbers 28 and 47. Congrats to John and Rich.
