#1 Half a ton of steel plate on a Humvee. What's the MPG on that, two?

#2 BH - I think it's GPM, actually.

Good to see Capt. Butler maintaining the tradition of Sgt. Culin!

#3 In the fine tradition of "hedge cutters" on the front of Shermans in Normandy...

#4 Ah yes... Americans! Time to balance the engine and polish the heads. (And don't get me started on the exhaust system) We need air dammit! We need a healthy engine! We need Noise! Let 'um know their nightmare is 2 blocks away and closing fast. Then use the electric hummer.

#5 "What's the MPG on that?"

Somewhere saw new-car review of a Diesel Hummer (oughta be close.) They said about 8, it "likes gas stations." Pretty heavy already, another half-ton isn't really all that outlandishly much.

#6 You're a cruel man, Shipman. A cruel man...

#7 That's why we should send Shipman to Iraq. They would shake in fear at his scare tactics!

#8 Hey, it's Iraq - there's got to be diesel fuel there somewhere.

Besides, I'd rather spend money on fuel than burial and medical expenses.
