Someone explain to me, again, how weighing down a humvee with armored floorplate makes it less susceptible to 155mm IEDs. Isn't it better to get the bad guys, and get rid of the bombs? I mean, if you run a Bradley over this kind of IED mine, what happens to the Bradley? And you're not going to turn a humvee into a Bradley.
giving them the tools for the job.

Agreed. We have even lost Abrhams in Iraq and that is a LOT more armored. My point is not weather up armoring is a GOOD idea, my point is that the VERY Senators who voted AGAINST funding the troops are NOW SCREAMING the loudest about how under equipped the troops are. The ones who gutted the Military in the 1990s NOW posture as these great defenders of the military. They are SCUM. Pure 100% SCUM.
