"My Hummer ain't got no gun rack, it's got a gun mount!"
- Old First Sergeant of Sarge's Aquaintance

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.

The changing needs illustrate how the battlefield is evolving over time. Five months ago, troops wanted better protection for their Humvees and more body armor. But as the improvised explosive devices become more sophisticated and prevalent, forces started demanding armor to line the bottom of their vehicles instead of only the tops and sides.
