1. Land Mine Attack
Improvised Explosive Device
Ar Ramadi, Iraq
2nd battalion, 4th marines
040714

2. Dishonest liars and unprofessionals attempt to
call land mines by another name to make it look
like it’s a “new” threat so their incompetence and
failure to be prepared beforehand can be excused away
Improvised Explosive Device
Ar Ramadi, Iraq
2nd Battalion, 4th marines
040714
Narcissistic egomaniacs who refuse to prepare properly
for war; embrace absurd ad hoc mentality that rejects
using better protected armored tracks that can avoid
landmines by cross-country mobility

4. Wheeled trucks are restricted to predictable roads/trails
where enemy can easily lay land mines and detonate them
when the foolish drive by

5. Wheeled trucks are 28% less weight/space efficient than
tracks; Humvee is not even a solid body!
Thin single armor layer
in patches
Air-filled rubber
tires burn
Flat bottom absorbs
blast effects

6. Where’s all that “60 mph” wheeled road speed to
“avoid” land mine blasts the light narcissists brag
on so they don’t have to use the tracks of the heavy
unit “wimps” use?
Gunner, no gunshield to protect from landmine blast
gunslinger mentality that we will shoot them first not
working when enemy choses to use combat engineering
ie; high explosive attacks

7. Thin armor of rubber tired trucks easily penetrated; fuel
tank ignites, rubber tires burn; engulfing everyone and
everything inside

14. More dead Americans we will praise as heroes while refusing
to get off our asses and CHANGE and re-equip our forces with
multiple armor-layered M113 Gavin tracks so they can survive
to be LIVING HEROES by avoiding or withstanding landmine
attacks; our egotistical man-with-a-rifle bullshit is more
important to us than VICTORY (what the American people
need) and even LIFE itself. The enemy obliges us by killing our
men & women.
