#1 Damn, 8mm is a fair amount of steel. Enough to stop shrapnel and block some explosive, if not direct fire. Good on that engineer. I wonder if these are the kevlar humvees, or the original fiberglass?

The 113 has about 15mm of 'armor', but it's aluminum rather than steel. Not real good at stopping stuff, and it burns (specially with the fueltank right under the crew compartment). blehh

#4 This is beautiful on so many levels; the Kurds getting back at Saddam, the Sargeant taking the initiative on the spot, Kurdish-American relations being bettered, the fact that they made a tender! for the job (how Western! :) and won a contract - how capitalistic, which is great news in itself!

I want to see a picture too!
