I don't want to renew the hate posts here so I'll simpy say "You better
look futher back to find the real reason why so many people are getting
killed in Military vehicles" "I'am of the opinion that the fault lies in
their parents, and maybe even their parents" I've said for a long long time
that "When dealing with anyone borned after 1959, you better take a second
look"

There's also the point that more and more of
these vehicles are getting power steering and
automatic transmissions, among other things.
Oshkosh is building them that way and they're not
slouches in the field. Drive an M35 and then turn
around and drive one of the new trucks, you'll be
less fatigued after driving the newer truck.
