The Solution to the traffic menace, especially Songteaws.

The Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) is a tracked, armored engineer vehicle specifically designed for conducting in-stride breaching of minefields and complex obstacles. The ABV will provide crew protection and vehicle survivability while having the speed and mobility to keep pace with the maneuver force. Major components of this system include a Full-Width Mine Plow (FWMP), two linear demolition charges (LDC), a lane-marking system, a remote control system, and weapon station integration on a modified M1A1 tank chassis. ABV will fill the requirement to clear a lane of sufficient width and depth for the assault forces and will be operated by a two-man crew with an option for remote control.   

Boys love their big toys. I wonder when (or if ever) men get over this **** and spend money, talent and time on more worthwhile things than killing each other.

how many billions, if not trillions, has been spent on the war in iraq by the US. yet they still can't "afford" universal health care !!

some f**ked up sense of priorities there !!!

Its like looking at an arsonist with a can of petrol and a box of matches

For your information the USA in the process of leaving Iraq. Number 2 IED's and mines are one of biggest threats to Coalition forces in Afghanistan. Are in you guy in love with Taliban?

MARJA, Afghanistan.

For all the speed with which they are hoping to move, American and Afghan officers say they are worried that homemade bombs — hidden on roads, on footpaths and in houses — could slow them down. Those bombs, though rudimentary, are often extraordinarily powerful, and they are now the primary killer of American and NATO service members here.

have to agree with Bruce here; while I am opposed to wholesale military spending, this seems, rather than a weapon, a tool that will reduce military AND civilian casualties by getting rid of mines and IEDs.

i hate Songteaws i wish they go away they are blocking the traffic
