Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet our Abrams tanks and Bradley vehicles are safe from mines. Probably would damage the vehicle, bot not injure the crew. I was watching the tube, and the Iraqi's have no weapon that can pierce the Abrams tank?

Depends on the mine. Underside of a tank is its weakest point.

Just got home from a long and rough week on the road. I am so relieved to be home and to be here with people who actually care what's going on. It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which people can stick their heads in the sand.

I believe the lead tanks have mine clearing equipment on them. Others follow in their path.

Moab?! Cool.

They're lucky I'm not in charge of MOAB deployment. I'd need additional congressional funding...
