I think the same thing applies to the M151, that's supposidly why they are
not sold to the public.
I don't see how they can have it both ways. Either they are safe for humans
to use or not.
Perhaps AMG doesn't believe soldiers should be afforded the same protection
as regular civilians?
This could become really ugly for AMG if a group of people pushed the
issue.
Anyone up for a letter writing campaign?
If someone wants to write up a standard letter to our congress people and
post it on a server or just send the text to the email list, I'd certainly
be willing to print off a few copies and send them in with my signature.
Enough of this bullshit - crushing perfectly good vehicles.
