Something about rding in a floating armored vehicle just seems WRONG!

I'm with you, Ben.

Does the Air Force send up planes crammed with soldiers with one tiny exit they can't get out of if something goes wrong?

Designers of beach-assault military amphibious vehicles can certainly design a landing craft that isn't a death trap.

This stinks to high heaven.
