    I had that same thought on my way to work this morning. I'm done trying to find any common sense in what's happening to the US.

    I'm thinking that many on this board are familiar with the weaknesses of the MRAP.

    Yes Sir, forgot about those bastards. In the sandbox they were adding a secondary source to it like diesel or gasoline to achive a catastrophic kill after the armor was penetrated. Nasty, nasty was to go.

    From the video I saw of the operator discussing the vehicle; there is only one door on the thing. Just jam a large steel pipe between the door and the ladder... Case closed.

    Boy that would ruin their day, then paint bomb the windows so they can drive around in circles for a week or so.

    The standard MRAP has two regular doors (driver and passenger) then a drop down hatch on the rear, plus a gunner hatch on top.
