Well, actually this one came from the DVIDS site, and my point still stands - it made me look twice, just as the AMV made Heartless look twice. You're the geek about things like this I *used* to be, but now have too many competing interests to keep up with being up on all the variants of all the military vehicles. I miss those days sometimes. Of course, if I quit spending 3 hours a day bloggin' and just read and surfed again, I could be that geek again! But I hired two slugs who hardly ever post any more (worth every penny I pay 'em, too) so I still gotta do what I do to feed the beast! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62160 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62160 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:28:05 -0600 Very cool, but that gun cehicle combo isn't that rarem the Iraqi army uses it a lot too. Try looking through some of the photo essasy at [link=http://www.defendamerica.mil]Defend America[/link] lots of very cool stuff there. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62158 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62158 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 16:45:12 -0600 here.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62157 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62157 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:50:13 -0600 It's the Finnish Patria 8x8 AMV with the Oto Melara Hitfist 30P turret and 30mm ATK MK 44 gun.

U, because it's not a LAV. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62151 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/07/this_one_made_m.html#comment-62151 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 11:42:11 -0600
