(Amerika) United States Army

Yet we're spending BILLIONS$ on a fast water swimming assault vehicle and putting .50 caliber "pop guns" on poorly armored 8x8 LAV trucks. Only tracked M2/3 Bradley IFVs in heavy units have 25mm guns! Thus, all Light, Airborne and marine troops will have only "garden hose" area suppressive weapons--less than 25mm---or low-velocity 40mm and .50 caliber HMGs mounted on vulnerable wheeled HMMWVs

und:

Today after over 1, 400 dead, 11,000 wounded--some of them maimed for life from Iraq, the objective adult has to ask the question why are 4 of the U.S. Army's Divisions still driving around in thin-skinned HMMWV trucks when they could have had light tracked armored fighting vehicles (TAFVs) all along?

Also für mich geht die Kritik auch klar in Richtung Panzerung und zwar nicht nur für einige Fahrzeuge.
