tell me why you can buy an armored mercedes or BMW right now, but our soldiers are riding around in these humvees?

Can your armored mercedes or BMW stop a 105mm or 155mm shell blast? How much ground clearance does it have? How steep an embankment can it climb?

Maybe we just need to send a Secret Service detail over there and let the troops patrol from the presidential limos, I'm sure that's the ticket...

not all the troops being killed are by 155mm shells. The technology exists to protect from small arms fire.
