Photo: A US Marine Corps RG-31 Cougar rests on its front axel after an improvised explosive device detonated under the vehicle near Camp Taqaddum, Iraq, Jan. 6. The IED detonated directly under the vehicle; however, the blast was pushed outward instead of directly straight up due to the vehicle's “V” –shaped undercarriage. Of the five service members in the vehicle, two received concussions and two others received minor burns. (Photo by: Courtesy photo by 8th Engineer Support Battalion)

But they lived!!! This is fantastic. Let the creeps build bigger ieds. It has to be more difficult for them to do that and more costly. There should be a lot fewer of them.

This looks to be a terrific vehicle!
