It seems like everyday since the war in Iraq began that I have read a news headline about Humvee mounted US Soldiers being killed by roadside attacks.
Did you know that there is a such a vehicle that can protect US Troops from both land mines, and roadside attacks? I didn't either. It's called the Cougar Mine Resistant, Ambushing Protecting 4X4. Did you also know that the military has only just now decided to supply these to the troops in Iraq?
So let me get this straight. The military could have sent these to Iraq in 2001, but didn't see anything wrong with Soldiers being killed as a result of the inferior vehicles they have to use to patrol Iraq? That is just wrong!
I guess that's what happens when you put an organization with such little regard for human life in charge of our sons and daughters.
