IMO, they need to make a Stryker with DU armour (ala the M1A2) and two engines (to account for heavier armour). Sort of a shield that will protect the front and rear of a column.

They had a fantastic solution for the ambush problem way back in Vietnam...gun trucks. Worked like a charm. Perhaps this is something worth looking into.

Are you proposing that we might fight Secretary Rumsfeld's hi tech war, all agility, lightning strike and precision


with those totally non transformational, heavy, slow, ancient, trucks? ... what do you think we are doing there anyway? Ambush did you say... only liberals compare this to Nam...

well on second thought if it saves troops' lives...
