It does seem like this is extremely poorly suited for the kind of wars the US generally fights - ie against guerillas. Squad will drive up to the edge of the 'combat zone' which they've predicted or defined, and either be attacked on the road or return from a suspiciously easy victory to find no more vehicle. I can see it working better for a peer conflict exactly as a jeep is used, but it seems like even in a peer conflict the combat zones are going to be fuzzy and these will be attacked by special forces or by UAVs while they're in 'safe' areas. With those two applications off the table, the only one left is butchering unarmed civilians - the open top leaves a lot of room for small arms fire from all 8 passengers in any direction. All that said I have no idea how wars are actually fought...

I’m a tsunamologist and this is the correct explanation
I support the use of partisans
Also Zulfiqar was a specific famous sword that had two blades or two points. from my knowledge it’s unclear whether the blade bifurcates side by side or front to back, there are interpretations from many periods with either.
Yeah like all they had to do was wrap “democracy” in scare quotes
At a restaurant for my friend’s birthday when my partner got the NYT alert. I may have double-fist-pumped and yelled “rest in piss” a bit too loud
Stick and poke anchor on the inside of my bicep, I usually forget it's there and when I see it I'm always like 'dang that looks fresh' in spite of it truly looking like a child with a sharpie did it.
I do not like where some of those guys had their right leg… someone’s gonna lose a toe! PFLP come on with the worker safety!
Especially where they didn’t have the platform over half the ditch, and had to straddle it. Yikes!
Every accusation a confession of course. We knew they used Palestinian children as human shields (which is worse, of course) but here they are doing exactly what they accused Hamas of doing.
I also wonder if this sort of thing is what stopped Israel from going further in the 12 day war. Iran claimed they had uncovered secrets, but blowing up a super secret base is proof.
