Its not that many.......roughly a total of 13k humvees have been armored either to a level one or three readiness "There are 19,000 Humvees in the U.S. Central Command area of operations. This area extends from Kazakhstan to Kenya. Of these, officials said, 15,000 are armored vehicles or have been fitted with armor. " dod.mil "Which is close to 10% more than the percentage of trucks in almost any army in almost any war that have been armored." Does that really matter? Most people in Sudan don't get the small pox vaccine.......should we campare our inoculation efforts to them? I'm not comparing anything to the Sudan. Compare the figure to any army in the world, or the the US army in any previous war. I'm not even using that comparison to say we shouldn't do better, just that it shouldn't be a major controvesy at this point. Don't you think that every little bit helps. I certainly do. I support the aim of adding armor to the trucks and humvees. Tim
