I believe that lives of brave people in Iraq(Americans,British and the Iraqi's) are being compromised by the politicians not showing us what is really happning over there. All these images of a bomb blowing a house, do not show the men on the ground that fight the real fight and clear up the area after, and appear to offer a sanitised version of the type of war the goverments like to show.
In short respect to all the men and women that have and will serve in hostile areas, and my message to politicians would be, Give the troops what they ask for, its very clear that land rovers and hummers will never offer suitable protection against IED's so why try to up armour them, .. buy the right vehicle for the job, give them what they need.
Why is the American army trying to replace weapons that are already very suitable for the role and have years of proven reliability with more modern high technology weapons(eg:the new replacement for the M2) that cost 3 times more than the original to make. The answer is the arms industry has and will make a lot of money developing these systems, and often its some poor private that has to live with its failings.I include it in my collection because it shows the apparent accuracy of the weapon systems.
