I don't see any numbers addressing the issue of people spared because IEDs and snipers failed to kill our troops in these more heavily armoured vehicles. I'd sure like to have seen more stats to back up the original assertion.

If so, I blame the uproar from the Democrats and their media allies for panicking the Pentagon into doing something without adequate testing.

Adding armor in that fashion (all that weight up high) without increasing suspension spring rate, compression dampening and rebound rate is a recipe for disaster.
