maybe I mis-spoke.....The HMMWV was not designed for the type of combat it is encountering in Iraq. To the best of my knowledge that is a stated fact. Again I could be wrong. All I am saying is in my view what makes a good battlefield vehicle doesn;t neccessarily make a good vehicle for the other uses the military has. The idea of using one platform does make more sense if they can design different configurations which excel in the areas they are designed for. I think that is more along the lines of what I was trying to say.
