[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Fussbett"]Sanitario666: "Maj. Gen. Gary Speer, deputy commanding general of U.S. forces in Kuwait, told the AP that as far as he knows vehicles going to Iraq from Kuwait's Camp Buehring have at least "Level 3" armor." INC: he's saying if the soldiers want more armor they're going to have to quest longer and get more gold INC: his charisma is pretty low :([/quote] I may have mentioned this before, but just in case I haven't: my friend was in the army in the late 80s and he finds it incredible that the modern army could mistake a humvee, which is essentially a jeep replacement, with an armored vehicle. This was driven home to me in the first mission of Delta Forces: Blackhawk Down where you're the 50 cal gunner on a humvee fighting Somalian technicals. The mission is almost impossible, since they're also shooting machineguns at you and your humvee has EXACTLY as much armor as their Toyota Tundras or whatever. :([/quote]
