Better than 26 mile per foot .. the crawler transporter from the VAB to the pad ... now that did shock me .... Mil vehicles .. dang the gas .. its war , A and Hummer LIV to a LAV .. , " Generation Kill " I think .. its a great watch, historical based , but shows how 'Light Infantry Vehicles' today's weapons are in the need to waste gas ! ..Re: Safer truck to replace Humvee

Pretty accurate description... I've always wondered what theatre the Humvee was meant to service, other than Kalifornia?
As a combat vehicle it is somewhat lacking, I'd rather prefer a WW2 Bedford truck.

Quite amazing how long it took .. the variants made from the Humble Humvee , but putting ya Willy's on the front line ... you do have to want to to know which swaying dick thought that one up , they super in specific roles but not front line so I guess they still will be around.
