I can understand the theory here although I still question the logic. By no means do I think that our Forces don't warrant new vehs, rather I question in times of tight economy the idea of buying job specific vehs rather than ones that are able to cover many tasks....
Rob you stated that these were being used as logistics vehs with training in tactical roles. I would hate to get stuck in a traffic jam in a tight alley with a bunch of insurgents firing from rooftops.... Lessons learned the hardway by troops in the US Forces in Iraq trapped in HMMVWs and 5 and 10 tonners...
