Thats a new one on me. They didnt have uparmored trucks when I was in Eyerackee Land, and I drove the M931A2, we put sandbags on the hood and our jack plates in the door frames, we called it adapting and overcoming.

That's a new one because the general didn't say that. I watched it this AM and what he said was that the trucks come without armor and are outfitted when they arrive.

can sandbags stop ak 47 bullets what about mortor shrapnel ?I never heard of anyone doing that before but if it is effective they should all do it and save a ton of money armor plating the trucks with reenforced steel and kevlar.
