Because of the frequent use of roadside bombs, and other explosive devices,
against American troops in Iraq, there is a large incidence of eye injuries.
This was foreseen, and the troops were equipped with goggles. Actually, the
troops have had the goggles for over a decade. But many of the troops did not
like to wear the goggles because, well, the army issue goggles were considered
ugly. Moving quickly (for the army anyway), the army switched to a more
fashionable brand of goggles. The troops wore them more often, and the number of
eye injuries declined.
