The war machine ca n’t beat IED . For every style we have of jam or avoiding them , militants discover another crafty means to blow people up . So why not just give and give remote controlledvehicles ? That might be the plan .
National Defense reportsthe Army is train with unmanned Hum-Vee and MRAPs ( giant military truck armored against explosion ) near the Mexican border . The approximation ? Deploy them in Afghanistan and Iraq , where they can direct the charge in a convoy , setting off all the traps along the means . If one of them happens to get blown to hell , it ’s dollars down the toilet , not lives lose . In a way , it ’s a clever solution — and in another , a beastly military strength , inelegant solution . But it could be a solution , and for the guys in the back of that convoy , that ’s all that matters . I do enquire how well a radio operator would be able to see to it the drone humvee in the lead of him if , say , his own fomite was under attack ? That ’s some filthy multitasking .
