I think its time to take out all the stops for a new fighting vehcile for Iraq!!!

Bring out the EM-50, a killing machine disguised as an RV.

This awesome combat vehicle first made its appearance in the movie Stripes.

I have nothing against mankind, its people I can't stand.

Way before the M2 BFVs and M1A2s even begin to ship by sea, expeditionary light armor forces would arrive in hot spots by air for defensive and offensive ops with their infantry.  They would also be better suited for ops in tight urban areas.  They could even support SOF operators on certain types of missions.  AATW!
