They need to get that giant on the far right a bigger vest.

That's actually a pretty nifty idea. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

good intent...poor execution. hummers were meant to be thin skinned and high mobility. due to IEDs, they have been hunkered down with so much armor that they were never intended for.
pros: well protected cons: slows the vehicles acceleration dramatically, which is good I guess considering that the second "con" is that it's top heavy like a sumbitch and will flip and kill everyone in the hmmv. |

maybe they're just part of the cavalry. i would assume that this:

all combat hummers are uparmored with that level of armor/turret now.
