This is why a purpose-built armored vehicle with a V-shaped, blast deflecting hull is better than a flat bottomed armored limousine. The M1114 takes that right up through the floor boards.

No word on my part re:archy. Him being 'banned' is rather strange news. Can't imagine him doing anything even remotely 'bannable.' Oh well, this should get sorted out. He may just be on a jaunt.

Also on Saturday, Spc. James Holmes, 29, of East Grand Forks, Minn., died from wounds he received in a bomb blast May 3.

Holmes was driving a armored Humvee when a bomb exploded, sending shrapnel through the vehicle's floor, Haugen said.
