Does anyone know of a way to determine how many WWII casualties happened in jeeps? How many Americans died because jeeps weren't armored? That is the relevant comparison.
BTW, the armored hummer is horrible, at least in the versions I worked with in Bosnia. The engine, transmission and suspension just aren't capable of supporting all that weight. They perform poorly, are easily mired, and break like British cars. If we want an armored vehicle, we should build one, not strap armor onto something that was never intended to be armored.
Rumsfeld is right
