Mumvees???  Are we not supposed to talk about them, or is it the stealth version? Sorry Jamo, I don't usually pick on typos, but that one was just too funny to resist.
And I completely agree with you. Hummers were to replace the Jeep. I've seen plenty of those with a .50 cal, and they could certainly do some damage (as can Hummers), but they were designed to be faster, more nimble, and a lot less armoured than the tracked vehicles. Bradleys were to replace the old M3, and are probably more appropriate.
