It's not that the army isn't trying to obtain as many armored Humvees as possible. They simply can't be produced quickly enough.
The up-armors are fairly secure. Mr. AQGeiger had an IED go off right next to his, and he had only ringing in his ears afterward. If he were in a regular Humvee, I'd be a widow right now.
Is Mr. AQGeiger still over there?
Production plants are at half capacity for armored humvee production. Its a funding matter. Supplemental bill moving through congress now will probably resolve this. The plants were never near capacity.
Praise the lord, he was OK!
