OOO! OOO! OOOOOO!

I WANT ONE!

The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports that Israel will supply the U.S. Marines in Iraq with specially equipped armored “Golan” vehicles which are specifically suited for urban warfare and can sustain attacks by RPGs and road mines.

Especially when the Humvees that the US military is using were never intended for urban combat. Hell, they really weren't intended for combat at all, but rather for the many different jobs that the military does in and around a combat zone. So they were designed to take a hit or two, but not the up-close and nasty stuff they're dealing with now.

So while the Democrats American Communist Party whines and seeths about up-armored Humvees (which they know nothing about and only use for political purposes, since the Democrats American Communist Party doesn't care about the military and would happily bleed every soldier dry if they could use the soldier's blood to get elected) what the military truly needs is a new vehicle designed for urban combat. THAT would save more lives than any new armor.

Of course, that would cost money, and the Democrat American Communist Party's faux concern for the troops only goes so far, and certainly doesn't extend to actually, yannow, SUPPORTING the troops or any real action that would save lives.
