I think the Humvee is the wrong vehicle for the job over there, and has contributed to the KIA count. They were not meant to survive such ambushes.

I like what the Hummer can do. I also like what the Stryker can do. Both vehicles can perform multiplpe missions, and I can't see losing the Hummer anytime soon - we had the old M151's in the inventory up until 1988, anywho.

Thanks for staying on top of this hot political issue.
The DoD knows what's going on (did you hear the troops cheer for Gen. Myers when he praised the CinC's leadership today in Iraq?).Pinging the crew to the latest spin, and informed FReeper commentary.
