    .....and their factory armor systems.........got a 'lil dinged up recently, double stack AP mines and a couple 155's (which the retards blew at the wrong time) and then one or two pot shots....so anywho, here's what a factory armored ford f350 can take.
    double stack AP (anti-personnel) mine:
    the driver and passenger both walked away. the only scratch the driver had was from the airbag deploying and breaking his night vision mount on his helmet which gave him a small cut that didnt even require a bandaid. the passenger took a small amount of frag to his leg and eye. aside from eye damage, he was perfectly fine.

    more landmine action:
    everybody inside was a-ok (maybe a bit shaken up)

    my truck got friggin peppered w/small low velocity bits of frag as well as a couple pot shots from some muj assholes in a doorway on either side of the street....

    When are we going to start dropping nukes on these assholes.

    Thank you for your service and keep safe.

    Vehicle handled that double powered landmine.

    Really protected the passengers.

    it'll turn us to dust. funny things happen in ied's. my buddies truck got this past december by a small round. outside of the truck was intact yet it rolled powerless off the road for a few hundered meters until it hit a berm. we figured they were knocked out by the concussion and just rolled. turned out one tiny piece of frag found its way into the cabin and ignited a thermite grenade which in turn ignited a truck full of thermite grenades and ammunition. outside of the truck looked good as new. inside, there was 3 guys and all that was left was 1 spine and 1 femur. no gear, no weapons, no seats even. sometimes you get lucky, other times God just hates you.

    True that.

    Thermites are nothing to play with. Sad for the guys in that truck.

    Come home to us safely Marcus.
