Default Military Jeep comeback???
As far as I'm concerned, there's too much cool stuff we can't have as it is.

Quite frankly, the Polaris DAGR is much better suited. The Marines that have been testing it at 29 Palms/Johnson Valley love it.

I was very unfortunate two years ago when I was chosen to be one of the few on Fort Benning to test the latest weapons and a few vehicles and had to go home on emergency leave... My buddy had a blast.

They also ought to convert the bolt pattern to match hmmvvs. There's already tons of tires and rims sitting around every motorpool.

My motor pool had so many hmmwv rims, run flats, and tires it was disgusting. But I feel like the jeep would just be better. The other looks like I'm on a suicide mission.

With the upsizing direction that the military is taking towards its vehicle, I doubt these guys will gather much steam.
