"Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project on Government Oversight, a non-profit group that monitors Pentagon contracts, says taxpayers are getting a deal that "stinks" on an unarmored vehicle that makes no sense for today's missions, where troops face ambushes and roadside bombs."

I can see that "Danielle" would prefer to sit in the dubious comfort of an armored vehicle, but not all warfare is conducted that way; sometimes being able to move and react quickly is more important than safety.
