#1 ...and quality assurance checks are conducted.

And the last they'll ever see. Probably would be better to give the Iraqis lots of spanking new civie Hummers that are sitting on lots across America simply rusting to replace those trucks they're already driving. Since IEDs are down, the add-on armor is only going move the milspec ones to the junk yard sooner.

You could toss in a whole bunch of Yukons, Silverados and F-150s to that.
