MRAPs for patrolling Sirt. So that IEDs don't go boom the shit out of security forces..
Am not against MRAPs, but project MRAP as a sole solution is what I have problem with....
Yesterday's attack was on Security Detail of an Oil & Gas Survey company, I spoke to someone regarding that earlier & did some research. Survey Trucks are specialized vehicles, how are we planning to protect those guys performing the job??

And believe me this is not the first time a Survey Team has been hit with IED.
