And if a CROWs is mounted on top of a hummer, you’re still only in a hummer, not the most survivable gun platform, that’s for sure.

Exactly. Hummers still being used as combat vehicles is a tragedy. The Strykers, other than being overbudget, overweight, overpriced, and without a stabilized gun system, are better but not perfect. The MRAP's are OK also but still don't have a stabilized gun system. The ASV's are awesome but don't carry an infantry squad. It's too bad the procurement system is so dysfunctional.
