This page here http://www.uniteddefense.com/www.m113.com/ifvlcharac.html clearly states that there are armor upgrading packages that add addititional mine protection to the M113. This armor has been available for decades but the US Army has never bought any. Just like the pictures of the Rhodesian and South African vehicles from the 1960's and 1970's designed for mine protection that Archy has posted. The stuff has been available but the Army has failed to see the need to buy or develop any. I find your love of the humvee disturbing.

I find your love of the humvee disturbing.

I think you may have me mixed up with somebody else. How do you figure I love humvees? I'm the one always looking for vehicles we could be using instead of M1114's.

Here are your pics of Rhodesian mine protected vehicles
