In one instance a UA took a direct hit from an RPG with only minor damage. That is very diffcult to believe. There aren't ANY HMMWVs that can withstand a 'direct hit' from a RPG.

Don't believe me. It is public record. There was an article with pictures on the Army web site. Happened in Aug or Sept. I'm not going to speculate on any extenuating circumstances. I admit I was surprised as well.
I think the real issue I was addressing was that the Army is trying to take steps to protect Soldiers. They may not be perfect steps, but everything helps.
