You don't have to agree or disagree with our involvement in Afghanistan to be moved by this letter @ http://www.susankatzkeating.com/2014/07/letter-from-afghanistan-on-independence.html
The M-ATV has a cool paint job. They really need to get on the ball with replacing all the Humvee's with those.
The ball is already rolling pretty fast. Last time I was on the ground over there was in 2010-2011 and at that time all of our humvees had been replaced with either MAT-Vs or MRAPs. The humvees we had remaining on the bases were prohibited from leaving the gate and could only be used to ride around the base if the base was on one of the larger ones. I've been seeing more and more MAT-Vs stateside as well.
