....it could probably be fitted to the Czech OT-62 *Scot*...or the Israeli Machbet could be fitted, very similar to the Avenger, and now replacing the weapons station on all the Israeli M163 Vulcan AA M113A1 tracks. Just replace the Stinger missile with a helicopter pod full of Hydra missiles with a tasteful mix of flechette and HE rockets, and you'd have the functional equivalent of the old *Slammer VI* mini-MLRS system that the 82nd Airborne experimented with in the late 1970s ~ archyKnowledgeable FReeper good guys looking out for the welfare of their fellow good guys - willing to escort convoys (see above + other suggested improvements) in Iraq for little money (with the fringe benefit of taking out some bad guys).
Plus an article - one of many from the press pushing the Dems current campaign to convince America that they care about the troops (after endangering them with their votes, reckless rhetoric, appeasing Saddam, siding with Chirac - and just plain lying - repeatedly (ping!)).

I like the ideas expressed here.
We could have some flags and insignia.. a few Jolly Rogers with some various embellishments maybe?
Like archy's crossed wrenches?
Maybe a set of crossed cannons on one?
