Mine-Resistant Humvees
It amazes me with all the money that is spent on equipping US Troops that they have not had enough Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles.

This would have saved many lives that have already been lost in the Iraq conflict, the video below shows you scenes of the mine-resistant vehicles being driven down dirt roads and shots of the interior of the vehicles.

There has been news over the last few months of the Marine Corps stepping up orders for ambush protected vehicles in Iraq (I just feel things could have been done a lot faster).

You can see different photos on this page of mine-resistant vehicles and the photo below is of an Army RG-31 ambush protected vehicle in leaving Camp Striker in Baghdad…they need more.
