from yesterday's SLATE: > "Defense Secretary Robert Gates saying the Pentagon will be replacing armored Humvees in Iraq with the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle, which provides better protection against improvised explosive devices. In a memo last week, Gates said that getting the MRAPs is "the highest priority Department of Defense acquisition program."<
Does that mean that Ah-nold and other wannabe gas-guzzlers will soon replace their Hummers with MRAPs or (more likely) "civilianized" MRAPs? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante.
