We've had an M113 and an Abrams go into canals. The Abrams went into the canal when the Iraqis shot a bridge out from under it. The M113 went into the canal when one of its tracks with over 3,000 miles on them broke causing the vehicle to slew to one side.

I have not heard of any Humvees being driven into the canals. I don't believe liquor is allowed there.

Not allowed by whom? The Iraqis have liquor stores and bars. The GI's are probably allowed to have a few beers when not on duty. It's the American way. When I was in (25 years ago) you could even have a couple of beers at lunch.

I'm pretty sure we've had at least one death as a result of a humvee going into a canal. If I recall, it had an embedded reporter in it and he died as well.
