Halsey was a cruiser commander. Why is he even on the list?

What happened to the dune buggies from Desert Storm Part 1?

And why in the world are we armoring trucks.  Just make impact proof body armor with hydraulic systems to allow our men and women to carry more, move faster and do more.  Seems to me that a suit of armor that makes you all but indestructible would be far superior to a tank.  Tanks have a hard time going up stairs without destroying a building, ya know.  People don’t.

One of the funniest encounters I had with military vehicles…

When I was in Benning and a Supply NCO, I was told that my primary vehicle for use would be a Rampage.

Now THAT sounded impressive… a RAMPAGE!

Then I saw it… a Chrysler Horizon based El Camino

Though mine was that dreadful celery green with “US Army” and a vehicle number in cheap black sticky numbers on the doors…
