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.

Could be just antoher attempt at assaulting our troops. Dunno, the armored humvee is a stopgap measure anyway, right?

I'm certain the center of gravity issue is why the HumVees
weren't equipped with top heavy armor in the first place. I'd also bet the army new this even before they placed an order for the vehicles and I wonder why they didn't speak up when the controvery hit.
