Alec, since you seem to know a lot about the US armed forces...did you know that a replacement of the Humvee is in progress??

This is FACT: do a google search

In the new world of warfare, the Humvee is not cuting it. Not because it's not capable, but because of the design of it. The H1's underbody is too wide and flat. Therefore, the underbody is too exposed to landmines in Iraq and Afgan. Surviving a landmine is very difficult in the H1...thus, Army is in the process of finding a replacement. The replacement's underbody will be bowed out (one of the proposed design)...thus deflecting the mine's force...thus, protecting our soldiers more. The H1's underbody, on the other hand, absorbs too much of the blast...too much real estate for the mine's force.

If you don't believe me, then do a search. Now, if i were given a chance to buy a H1 (aka win lottery), then i would buy it in an instant!! H1 is good in the old-kind of open warfare.
