#1 Well press was right this time. The army solution is and was a stupid one. Face it: THE US ARMY PROCUREMENT WEAPONS SYSTEM IS BROKEN. By stupidity, overules and office paper Generals.
It's like fighting the WW2 with M3 Stuart 3 years after the war started...
M1 is still M-1 not prepared for urban fighting.
Only now they are starting to install in it a mere telephone for the crew be able to talk with outside infantry. (Marines M1 already came with)it. Humvv was never a veichle prepared for IED. There are many better comparable military veichles prepared and there is still not a program to substitute the Humvv.

#2 Thousands of pounds of armor ... have made the vehicles more likely to roll over, killing and injuring soldiers in Iraq, a newspaper reported.

They reported on not enough armor now they can report on too much - or the way it was installed. The MSM can never lose, just like the medieval inquisitors. It's NEVER their fault!
