Military understated how many can be made
The secretary of the Army said in November that the military was buying every armored Humvee that could be made.
Politicians and parents pointed out that the factories could turn out thousands more of the steel-plated trucks.

Did a little reading on the "Mamba" mine resistant vehicle & did you know it uses Daimler Benz power plant/gearbox/front& rear axle? Apparently nobody has pointed this out to the folks in congress that represent the workers at Daimler-Chrysler!
If nothing else inform the guys at the local UAW hall that they could be making armored mine resistant vehicles for the troops at roughly 1/4 the cost of a armored HUMVEE that would stand up better to landmines better than the armored humvee but their democrat member of congress doesn't seem interested .
Wonder what the reaction would be???8^)
