As far as military procurement is concerned, we just GOT the darn things...and now they have to be replaced????

And with what??? Better yet, how much is THIS gonna cost us?

Don't get me wrong...I want our troops to get the best possible equipment to do the job. Even so, isn't there SOME way we can save some money?

The army is wasting time, money, and lives trying to make a glorified Jeep into a fighting vehicle.

Its nothing but a staff car people, it wasn't designed to fight. Its built on obsolete GM running gear and light construction.

This is what Stryker was made for. Stop sending Hummers and start making Strykers in mass.

The Hummer was never meant to be a tank.

The best solution for the next generation of Hummers: M1117/ASV-150 Commando.
