My Way News - Study: Lack of MRAPs Cost Marine Lives

My Way News - Study: Lack of MRAPs Cost Marine Lives: "Cost was a driving factor in the decision to turn down the request for the so-called MRAPs, according to the study. Stateside authorities saw the hulking vehicles, which can cost as much as a $1 million each, as a financial threat to programs aimed at developing lighter vehicles that were years from being fielded." Maybe these Marine bureaucrats were concerned about limited money resources because congress (democrats in particular) have always been threatening to cut off funds? We've got to buy bullets also.
