Contact Fat Jack Murtha, move to his district, donate to his “campaign” and you’ll be set.

One thing to survive the blast, another thing to suvive the blast and still be able to drive away from harm.

Usually they do not try to confront the US military because it would mean sure deaths for them.

“Most of the time, the insurgents plant IEDs and then run away and hide.”
SOP for islamotards, along with targeting women and children. F*king cowards.

I would not want our troops to be sitting ducks in a metal bunker alive but stunned from a blast.

Let me guess; fuel economy is measured in Gallons Per Mile?

Here is some empirical evidence on the toughness of these vehicles. I'll try to include the power point that accompanied it. Here is the blurb. UNCLASSIFIED ALL; As you may know, a new vehicle (called the MRAP) is being fielded to combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not too long ago, one of these vehicles (being operated by a US Army unit) hit a 500 lb IED. The vehicle was nearly destroyed. A soldier suffered broken ribs, but everyone walked away from the incident. I read from one man, who said "these vehicles are nearly as impressive as the men who choose to operate them."
