Should the U.S. military replace the Humvees in Iraq with Volvo 240 wagons?

Question

I beleive they should. An IED would have no effect on a Volvo 240 and the wagon has optional third row seats for two more soldiers, or plenty of cargo room for weapons and cargo.

I believe the insurgents would lay down their weapons and tremble at the fearsome sight of a batallion of Volvo 240 wagons descending on their positions. Come on, lets win this thing people.

Answer 1

I believe the VW Beetle would instill more fear.

Answer 2

The humvee is an ill conceived piece of crap and yes the volvo is
better, but you seem to miss the whole point of your own question. A gorilla war is not winnable, there are some that have gone on for forty years, also most of the fighting is between religious groups and as we all know there is no better way to get people to kill each other. { or as we said in The Nam, lets kill a commie for christ} .

Answer 3

Are you kidding there boxxy and good but.. there is alot of things missing from making it military. why not use a bunch of yugo's or some smart cars huh those are SCARY OOOOOOO or why not a hybrid toyota that way you can be fashionable and look like you care about the enviroment...those things are armor plated you know. and bio fule is not the way to go you actually to go you have less performance for guy who said bio diesel.

Answer 4

I have a better idea....why don't we give our military soldiers a RAISE and keep the Humvees since they are not broke.....no need to fix them. I think the money could go to better use like I said a raise for our underpaid military.

Answer 5

I think a Volvo C70 Convertible would be a better choice, since the soldiers can be blown up higher when it hits a landmine.

Answer 6

Well, at least you get cheap points for such a dumb question. I believe you are confusing insursgents and IEDs with kindergarten kids with backpacks.

Answer 7

only if they convert them to run on biofuel first.

Answer 8

no too lightweight not heavyduty

Answer 9

no
