Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.
Actively seeking volunteers to provide this valuable service to Veterans and their families.

Looks like Rumsfeld took some flak from combat troops while in Kuwait about inadequately armored vehicles. Perhaps you recollect I have been talking about this very problem since before the invasion.
No reason for command detonated mines to seriously injure a soldier riding in a standard sort of mine resistant vehicle. Even the Israeli RAM would give ten, twenty times less injury compared to a HMMV.

Too many photos to post. Same website I posted earlier, a page on this class of vehicle. Machine is armored only where the weight will protect the crew. The running gear, engine, and transmission are designed to protect the armored crew compartment by absorbing the explosion. Engine is an air cooled Deutz.
