Well, we had to. While you might understand and accept the responsibilities and liabilities that went with a vehicle that would roll over in a strong breeze, there are people out there that, when confronted with warnings like "CAUTION - EXECUTING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION AT A SPEED GREATER THAN TWENTY MILES AN HOUR WILL RESULT IN A ROLLOVER AND YOUR GRISLY DEATH" will get up there and say "hold mah beer and watch this!"

They (the M38A1s) were just stripped-down Jeep CJ-5s weren't they? Why would their rollover potential be higher than the civilian counterpart?

I know you had to do what you had to do. But they were a great vehicle. I've driven them in convoys and all kinds of field conditions and never even came close to rolling one. When ours were replaced with Blazers, I longed for the Jeep when in the field because it rode a helluva lot better than that stinkin Blazer did.
