This is the first war EVER where all troops are supposed to travel in fully armored vehicles. While it certainly would be nice, Humvees are a HECK of a lot better than the old Jeeps that used to be the common mode of transportion.
Maybe we should go back to these??
Excellent point! Perhaps the NYCrimes will have a story titled, "US Troops Not Given Enough Flight Training in Spaceships"
