While lighter in weight than their predecessors, the new military humvees do not seem to have much more protection than earlier models.

Who Am I?
- Jess Wundrun
- I am going to try to be positive like our new President-Elect Obama. But I have this whole box full o' snark and I'm afraid I'm going to have to use it. Sorry, President O. In your second administration I'll play nice, 'kay?
Which one of you neocons wants to be the first to kiss my ass?
Look a that, whodathunk hey?

They're particularly vulnerable to little kids shoving sticks through the spokes.
There is a preventative measure for this, Poobah. It involves a baseball card and a clothspin.
The newest EXTREME!!$&^Q#@&$*#^&$*^ DUDEZ sport: service in Iraq.
Shhhhh! Randal, or they'll start using that on recruiting posters
Crow's pet peeve, here.
Don't disrespect bikes in battle. Faster than foot-sloggers and quieter than humvees.
They've played big roles in many conflicts since their invention. An early proof of concept (c. 1890) had a group of black buffalo soldiers cycling from Missoula to St. Louis.
The Vietcong were able to keep supplies moving by hauling up to 500 pounds on bikes along narrow trails. They pushed them, rather than riding them. The US vastly underestimated the bicycle's capabilities for freight and suffered as a result.
I heard that some of 'em liked to pedal their asses all over town.
Regards,
Tengrain
PS - Flattered as all hell, Jess!
But what do you expect with such a small military spending budget!? Sheesh!
I heard that there is a $4,575.00 optional "safety pack" available for these new humvees.
the kit includes:
*kevlar streamers
*a titanium bell
*military-grade camo basket for the handlebars
HA ... this is excellent!
