but don't pick on the Hummer for not being a Bradley

Why not? The anti-defense lobby picked on the Bradley for not being a tank.

Remember the lobbying campaign built around test range film of a Bradley being blown apart by an anti-tank round? At the time (I don't know about now), the Bradley was armored up to a .50 caliber standard, so naturally an anti-tank round did dramatic things. But that film ran endlessly.

Hmm.. I'd personally like something with a V shaped underside, increased ground clearance, some armor, and a massive freaking cannon on top with a coaxial mounted machinegun and maybe some grenade launchers all over it.

Think Santa would bring one?

I think we should draft a fleet of the flying SUVs from Teterboro Airport.

Ground distruction and can launch themselves in air assauts :)

[Darksheare]

LOL, yes.

Went past there not too long ago.
The building still bears scars from the SUV enticing the jet off the runway.

[Calpernia]

You should have waived as you past my exit! :)

[Darksheare]

Drats, that's right!

I like your taste in vehicles but I think they're looking for somthing a justlittle bigger, armored, that can do 60 mph.

Check out Force Protection Corporation located in S.C. home to Senator G.Lindsey. This company builds a Cougar and Buffalo and has been awarded huge contracts already.

Great product!

They need to stop the patchwork on these humvees. Tons of wasted money (gee,what a surprise)by the Gov.

Dad had an old Willys like that, minus the Browning, when I was a little kid in the early 50's. I think he'd gotten to like them over in France and Germany, '44 - '45. My brothers and I all learned how to drive a car with it when we were old enough, in the early 60's.

I don't see any shooting ports in the doors. Did I miss them?
