Unacceptable. The number of troops coming home with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) from the concussive injuries they experienced from road side bombs, despite their presence inside of fully armored Hummers or tanks at the time of detonation is reaching, like in the NFL, epidemic proportions.
Watch the link. Look at pictures of destroyed Humvees. Watch tanks being blown several feet off the ground and on to their side.
Yes--these vehicles save 1000s of lives and weren't available in the older conflicts and theaters of war you mention. If you served then thank you. But today's combat veteran is anything but a pansy. And no, I never served, but I serve those that are and who have.
We respect the Jeep in part for the historical role it played in helping us/soldiers in times of war. Let's respect the person behind its wheel no less.

Calm down. Pretty sure this was meant as sarcasm along the same line as this entire thread.
