I've got to ask you critics; is a Humvee quicker, or slower, when modified with massive amounts of steel-plating?
I mean what do we really have out there?
Do we have a surgical, fast, quiet moving force in Humvees, or a heavy, noisy, big-blowem-up tank force?
. . . or some Gruppe B'ers with Humvees, thinking they can weld-on stuff until it looks like the Abrams?
FWIW, I'm fine with giving our troops the tanks. . . no more of this door to door search crap . . . just point that big gun and BOOM goes the building.
. . .That is what you whiners want . . right?

Ooooh, Island, what are we going to do with you?
Let's start from the top.
Obvious set-up. Uh, duh! And it worked... more armored Hummers are on order. So you are against soldiers getting what they need? Remember that last bit of "logic" you tried to spew where you backed yourself into an "I love Hitler" corner. Jeez man, think before you type.
onward.
You ask about the quickness of a Hummer. Quick Hummer is an oxymoron (look it up) (and maybe not for you... pun intended). Island, there is no such thing as a quick hummer whether it has one man or fully loaded with soldiers and armor. Do you really think it will be able to outrun an RPG? Or that it will be so fast without armor that it will outrun the explosion set-off by an IED? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Your last point about blowing up buildings without knowing who is inside confirms your accreditation in the Hitler Youth Blitzkrieg School of War. Congratulations, your diploma is in the mail.
