and why in a time of shrinking budgets, fewer combat troops, and uncertain types of future wars, are we spending money on a new truck? sounds like more corrupt decision making from a corrupt pentagon. (as a former armor officer it pains me to see how low the perfume princes have sunk.)

It combines the HMMWV and the FMTV which are both 30 plus year old technology. A major advancement is better IED protection.
