Imagine riding in a car or truck all day long, knowing that at any given moment the ground beneath you might explode. I find it mind boggling that we as a nation have thrown what like a couple trillion dollars at this Iraq problem and still our guys are spending their days rolling around on a mine field with their fingers crossed. Where the hell is the innovation? Apart from the private industry KBR thieves, shady back room dealing elitist war profiteers, social security dodging cayman island account transfers, I still feel like we gotta have enough left over for like some kind of EMP device to roll out in front of cars. I mean electro magnetic pulses aren't anything spectacularly new. Might be a bit overly optimistic, but shit even when guerilla's were tying up piano wire at neck level in order to decapitate soldiers driving open top jeeps in WW2 someone had the presence of mind to say hey this is retarded lets just put something up in front of the driver to cut any wires. BAM problem solved. Of course thats a low tech solution to a low tech problem, but seriously this is 2008 and are crudely made bombs rigged to garage door openers and cellphones that high tech??? I mean we've got strength enhancing exo- skeletal suits, lightwave bending invisibility on a fairly impressive level, space travel, genetic engineering ability thats closing the gap on godlike power and like a bajillion other things getting invented by humans every nano second. It just frustrates me to see the American Military so lacking in ingenuity when facing attacks as crude cowardly and blunt as IED's. I'm not saying I can fix the problem, but it is a problem just sitting there, repeating itself day in and day out begging to be solved. Meh perhaps the military and KBR prefer to lose their vehicles so they can further screw the American taxpayer.
sorry for the ranting and raving, I gots verbal diarreah of the fingertips :)

Damn! After reading all this I realized I didn't have enough bread crumbs left to find my way home.

full on pretty cool

Maybee put the vehicle up on tall legs with wheels on the bottom. It can drive, crawl, and drop soldiers off on the second floor of buildings. Oh my goodness, how about those four legged things from Star Wars. NO! I GOT IT....THE BURROWING DRILL VEHICLE FROM TMNT!, the cartoon of course.

lol that wasn't an IED... that 'civillian' clearly set it off... watch his hand 1 sec before the explosion (and no, I didn't read the other comments if someone else already pointed it out lol)

damn...and he got up.......no virgins for him or he's lucky as hell for being able to live another day for being in the worst place in the world at that very moment. I am sure the hidden jihadist cameraman that is always filming these nearby had absolutely no remorse on the though that he might have killied an alleged brethren.

Those IEDs can destroy a tank,is this guy even human damn If he is then that is one tough SOB or maybe a zombie of some sort.
