Don't forget where the complaints were coming from - the RATS. It goes to prove that the uneducated once again open their mouths. It has destroyed the humvees for what they were designed to do.
"It has destroyed the humvees for what they were designed to do."
Nobody ever said that a Humvee was designed to be operated in an insurgency. We've made plenty of mistakes in the past. Blame the Gov't in general. It simply does not change once a design or a model of Military Structure is put in.
Look at Somalia. We used Humvees there and took a hit. 10 plus years later and we are still using them in an Urban environment.
I dunno if the Stryker is the answer or the Lav 25, but we can't expect a OverHauled Jeep to tbe the answer in an Hostlie environment.
