If the majority of the population don't see the gov gearing for a civil war, they are just blind. I have operated these vehicles. If a revolution does break out, gonna be hard taking these things out. They can withstand a LOT of stuff.

Much like tanks, they don't do very well in big holes, but it is still kinda scary because those aren't all that useful for non-lethal riot control, and really they would only really serve a purpose on the border and that is still a sieve.

So... Actually looking at the contract award announcement, which which is more than a year old, these are being retro fitted for the USMC... I can't find anything official to support this "DHS buying thousands of MRAPs" nonsense. If someone has a source that's not infowars please post it.

I've never used one., but every time I'm behind one I can't figure out the hell they don't tip over constantly. The things look super top heavy.

So.. every picture I've seen of them is just photoshopped to show DHS markings?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

This smacks of urban legend until we can confirm the information from a reputable source.

Any armored vehicle is susceptible to damage or destruction when a Molotov cocktail is deployed above the engine compartment vents.

That may work for light armor vehicles but I highly doubt that would work for an Abrams.

but large holes work very well, Germans, Polish, Afghans have made pretty good examples of this ...not against an Abrams, but a tank is a tank

The best way to stop armor is to go after their supply lines IMHO.
