".......under JFK and LBJ when I served. We found ways to get around it."

The only "armor" I ever saw on wheeled vehicles in 67-68 was a layer of sandbags on the floorboards.

Its nice that factory-produced "armor" is being retrofitted, but this whole issue is a tribute to the 'field expedience' of the American GI, which is what gave rise to DOD production of armor retrofits in the first place.

A prime example of how our military wins battles and wars with "Can Do attitudes instead of Whining like lefties!"
