I thought that the SAS used more GMC trucks than they did Jeeps.
But that sure is a good photo.
We had a unit lunch once upon a time with LTG Gary Luck, who I think had just finished a tour at USASOC commander. We were at Ft Campbell in one of the restaurants on the strip. I got a chance to talk to him, and we were just killing bulls. I asked him, “If you could have any weapons system, which would you choose?”
His reply: “Chaplain, I want some of everything.”
There’s a time and a place for super-armored hummers, as IEDs proved in Afghanistan. And there’s a time and place for stand off capabilities for light infantry troops.
There isn’t anything we have that can’t be killed, and the same for our enemy. And there’s always a way to kill what they have that’s currently killing us.
Some of everything.
