Sad day for the British Soldier

Not sure where to begin on this one. If the subject were not so serious I would have thought it was a April fools joke. The British Military commonly referred to as the MOD has just purchased an Armored Dune Buggy. Actually 75 of them. Below is the article from Defense Management and they are serious.

Let me say that again “An Armored Dune Buggy” , by it’s very nature there is very little that could be armored. So what are they protecting with the armor? Certainly not the soldiers!!!! The soldiers should simply not use them. As with our US Military and the Humvees that were sent into a war zone without armor, the soldiers simply took matters into their own hands and armored them the best they could in the field.

My friends this is deadly serious and I am afraid for all us that there are people in high positions making these decisions.
