going to be hard to document what didnt happen. Perhaps we could take a look at the stats before and after the armor was available. considering the way the vehicles trickled in I don't think there is an easy way to do this.
His premise seems reasonable though. Take a vehicle design and make it much heavier and raise the center of gravity. What else could we expect to happen?

His and your attention to the center of gravity is warranted. Still, what is better, to have the troops sitting ducks or to have an accident once in a while. The per thousand rollover rate doesn't seem that high. The actual numbers of deaths isn't that high considering three years. Each one is tragic, but viewed in perspective this seems like another morale ball breaker to me.
